Publications

The organ of our Society is the "KnasterKOPF - Fachzeitschrift für Tonpfeifen und historischen Tabakgenuss" (Journal of Clay-Pipe Research and the History of Tobacco), the only periodical in German specialising on this topic. KnasterKOPF normally appears once a year, in time for the annual meeting of the Society in April/May. Apart from research papers, it contains report(s) of previous meetings as well as reports on the work of similar societies in other European countries.
The members of the German Society for Clay-Pipe Research also often publish their work in other publications. Articles written by members on clay pipes and tobacco, evaluation of historical documents, and papers on methods used in clay-pipe research and published elsewhere are listed in KnasterKOPF in the section on recent literature.
