Landlust (literally Lust for the Land) is a German bimonthly gardening, home and women's magazine published in Münster, Germany. It is one of the best-selling magazines in the country.
History and profile
Landlust was started in 2005.[1][2][3] The magazine is published by Landwirtschaftsverlag, an agricultural publishing house, on a bimonthly basis.[2][4] The headquarters of the magazine is in Münster.[4][5] Its primary readers are women.[2] The magazine provides articles about several aspects of countryside life.[5] The frequent topics covered in the magazine include cooking, crafting, gardening, knitting and nature, among the others.[1][6]
Landlust is considered to be a revival of the Heimat concept in Germany.[3][7] Philip Oltermann of the Observer regarded the magazine as one of five objects defining modern Germany.[8] However, several German media outlets criticized the magazine's lack of refinement.[1] Der Spiegel, for example, said: "When rubbish is turned into a magazine, it calls itself Landlust."[1]
Although Landlust has a website, it just covers limited service offerings and features an online shop.[9]
Circulation
Landlust had a circulation of 50,000 copies in its first year.[1] In 2007 its circulation rose to 200,000 copies.[10] In late 2009 it was nearly 550,000 copies.[10] The circulation of the magazine was 648,866 copies in 2010.[11]
In 2013 Landlust became one of the top ten German magazines in terms of readership.[12] During the second quarter of 2014 the magazine sold 1,024,033 copies.[4]
