Book •
The Ur-Duden, published in 1880 by Konrad Duden, was the foundational dictionary aimed at standardizing German orthography.

Prior to its publication, various regional spelling rules existed, causing confusion and hindering communication.

Konrad Duden, a schoolteacher, sought to create a unified system of writing to enhance clarity and understanding across German-speaking regions.

The Ur-Duden served as a comprehensive guide, establishing consistent rules for spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

This seminal work laid the groundwork for modern German lexicography and remains a significant milestone in the history of the German language.
