Oesterreichische Lesehalle. Monatsschrift für Unterhaltung und Belehrung. Herausgegeben und unter Mitwirkung zahlreicher Mitarbeiter redigirt von Hermann Lehner. Wien, self-edition. In German. Size 28,5 x 22 cm. LN 5955.
Monthly for entertainment and education. With a special department for the care of the chess game. Edited by Hermann Lehner with the participation of numerous coworkers.
A rare Austrian magazine published between 1881 and 1897. Contains little stories, mixed puzzles, short chess news, chess games and problems.
Volume 1896
Issues 2-12 (Nr. 182-192). Missing January issue (Nr. 181). 92 pages (with missing pages 1-8). Incomplete volume 14. Title list and index included. Bound without covers but covers may not have been published (?).
Volume 1897
Issue 1 (January, Nr. 193). 8 pages. I believe this is the last and extremely rare issue of the magazine (not in LN) and no further issues were published as the editor Hermann Lehner died shortly after this issue was published.
Hermann Feodor Lehner (27.6.1842-15.3.1897) was a Viennese problemist and publicist. After the (first) Wiener Schach-Zeitung published by Ernst Falkbeer, which only had nine issues in 1855, Lehner started a second attempt to publish an Österreichische Schachzeitung in 1872, which was published for three and a half years and was supported by Baron Ignaz von Kolisch. In addition, Lehner, together with Constantin Schwede, published the tournament book for the first Vienna International Chess Congress in 1874. From 1881 until his death in 1897, he published the magazine Oesterreichische Lesehalle. (source)
The 1894-1897 volumes published in a larger format seem to be rarer than those published in 1881-1893. As far as I know, these volumes are missing in the David de Lucia collection or in the Kieler Schakatolog.
Condition - Good: new private binding with gold lettering on spine, most of the pages have been visibly folded in the middle.
