Summary/Abstract: During the Illyrian Movement there were several German-language journals in Croatia: alongside »Luna« and »Croatia«, issued in Zagreb 1826–1858 and 1839–1842 respectively, another notable journal was »Der Pilger« from Karlovac. Due to its poor preservation, extensive research into this journal is still pending. This article relies on those issues which have been preserved by the National and University Library in Zagreb and have in the meantime also become available in digitalized form. The article provides both basic bibliographic information about the journal and an extensive summary of its content. In so doing, it draws special attention to imagological constructs of foreign and domestic geo-cultural spaces as well as the presence of Croatian literature in the journal.
