Die Zeitschrift erschien von 1904 bis 1944. Herausgeber der sechs Mal jaehrlich erscheinenden Schrift war bis 1939 der Arzt und Professor Alfred Ploetz, der den Begriff der „Rassenhygiene“ praegte, in Verbindung mit Hermann Friedmann, Anastasius Nordenholz und Ludwig Plate. Zu den ersten Autoren gehoerten Otto Ammon, Carl Correns, Nordenholz, Ploetz, Ernst Ruedin, Wilhelm Schallmayer und Richard Thurnwald (zu den Mitherausgebern gehörte auch Falk Ruttke).

At one point, it was the publication organ of the German Society for Racial Hygiene and the organ of the Reich Committee for Public Health, and by order of the Reich and Prussian Ministry of the Interior, it had to be subscribed to by all health authorities. The journal was published from 1904 to 1944. Its editor, who appeared six times a year, was the physician and professor Alfred Ploetz, who coined the term ”racial hygiene, ” until 1939, in collaboration with Hermann Friedmann, Anastasius Nordenholz, and Ludwig Plate. Among the early authors were Otto Ammon, Carl Correns, Nordenholz, Ploetz, Ernst Rüdin, Wilhelm Schallmayer, and Richard Thurnwald (co-editors also included Falk Ruttke[2]). The journal was published from 1904 by the Archiv-Gesellschaft publishing house in Berlin, from 1907 by the same publisher in Munich, from 1909 by Teubner in Leipzig and Berlin, and from 1922 to 1939 by Lehmann in Munich. The term racial hygiene was used to describe an approach to eugenics in the early 20th century, which found its most extensive implementation in Nazi Germany (Nazi eugenics). It was marked by efforts to avoid miscegenation, analogous to an animal breeder seeking purebred animals. This was often motivated by the belief in the existence of a racial hierarchy and the related fear that ”lower races” would ”contaminate” a ”higher” one. As with most eugenicists at the time, racial hygienists believed that the lack of eugenics would lead to rapid social degeneration, the decline of civilization by the spread of inferior characteristics.
