The “Thomas Mann Gesellschaft Zürich” was founded in 1956, one year after the death of the writer and at the same time as the archive. Since then, its declared aim, as stated in its statutes, has been “to deepen the understanding of Thomas Mann and to promote research into and presentation of his work, his person and his time”. The society does this to a large part through the publication of the “Blätter”. These have been published regularly since 1958 and provide a forum for academic or essayistic discussions of Thomas Mann's work, legacy and environment, as well as for other contributions. Each issue contains one or two articles, as well as the society’s annual reports and membership lists.
