Founding of the Society
Year
Authority / Notes
1764

According to Schöne (2001), the founding assembly of the Society took place in Leipzig on 1764, May 26 in response to a call for the founding of such a Society that went out on 1763, October 14. Schöne (2001) notes that a direct precursor of this Society was the Thüringische Landwirtschaft-Gesellschaft, which had been founded on 1763, July 8, but which, however, had ceased by the end of the same year at the latest.

According to Schöne (2001), the main assemblies always took place at Easter and at Michaelmas on the occasion of the Leipzig Fair. Delegation sessions were transferred to Dresden at least from 1770, as was the Secretariat. Moreover, since the year 1767, provincial assembies took place once in a while in Leipzig, Dresden, Wittenberg, Zwickau, Freiberg, Neustadt, Suhl, Meißen and in Merseburg.

Schöne (2001), indicates that the Statutes of the Society make it clear that the Society was concerned with the situation to do with foods in the broadest sense, including agriculture, manufacturing and trade, and applications of mathematics, physics and chemistry to these areas, in particular as regards Saxony and affiliated regions.

In his introductory remarks in his article, Schöne (2001) refers to a lengthy lawsuit between the Leipzig and Dresden economic societies from 1820 to 1825. A bit later, he once again refers to that lawsuit, saying that it eventually led to the partition of the Society. Near the end of the article, he refers to the partition of 1825, indicating that it happened on the initiative of the Leipzig members. Unfortunately Schöne (2001) does not state explicitly the names of the societies into which the Society was partitioned. It is natural to assume that even though there appear to have been two separate Societies, one for Leipzig and one for Dresden, already in 1820, this may just have been a tentative separation, with the formal separation occuring in 1825.

We find a slightly different account in 230. Wiederkehr der Gründung der Leipziger Ökonomischen Societät, a publication by the 1990 reincarnation of the Leipziger Ökonomische Societät. On p.8 of the pamphlet, we learn that soon after the founding of the Society an attempt by the Dresden members to separate had already begun, but that not until 1817 did that lead to the actual secession of the Dresden members as the Ökonomische Gesellschaft im Königreich Sachsen.

On p.8 of 230. Wiederkehr der Gründung der Leipziger Ökonomischen Societät we also read that the last known traces of the original Leipziger Ökonomische Societät were near the end of the 1930s.

The website () of the reincarnation of the Leipziger Ökonomische Societät makes it clear that it was newly founded in 1990.
