Oeconomische Encyclopädie

The Oeconomische Encyclopädie was a German language encyclopedia started by Johann Georg Krünitz.

It was originally planned to be a translation of two French-language encyclopaedias, Dictionnaire raisonné universel d'histoire naturelle (1764) and Encyclopédie Oeconomique ou Système général d'Oeconomie rustique, domestique et politique (1771–1772), but developed into a separate work that much surpassed the originals.

Significant parts were also based on the Grosses vollständiges Universal-Lexicon by Johann Heinrich Zedler.

After his death (1796) Friedrich Jakob Floerken (1758–1799) took over the preparation of volumes 73–77, until he died too.

From 1813 to 1855, Johann Wilhelm David Korth (1783–1861) edited volumes 124–225, at times supported by co-authors Ludwig Kossarski and Carl Otto Hoffmann.
