Der Bazar was a fashion magazine which was published in Berlin, German Empire, in the period 1854–1933. Its subtitle was first Technische Muster-Zeitung für Frauen.[1] Then it was changed to Illustrirte Damen-Zeitung (Illustrated Women's Magazine) from 1 January 1857.[1] It is one of the earliest examples of a multilingual magazine.
Der Bazar was launched on 10 December 1854 as a biweekly magazine[1] and was based in Berlin.[2] Its publisher was owned by Louis Schäfer.[1][3] However, it was Antonie von Cosmar who suggested establishing Der Bazar.[1] She was a playwright and novelist.[1] From 1857 the magazine was redesigned, and its subtitle was modified, and the frequency was switched to weekly.[1] Der Bazar folded in 1933.[4]
