ESSENZ – A Year Full of Inspiration. Curated across 200 pages.

ESSENZ presents 200 pages of the most beautiful features and stories from our premium and luxury magazines AW Architektur & Wohnen, DER FEINSCHMECKER, MERIAN, and Robb Report.

ESSENZ is our response to many questions and suggestions from our readers. We are frequently asked to compile collector’s editions in the style of coffee-table books featuring the year’s most outstanding articles and stories. Especially when we receive numerous requests for back issues of individual, highly sought-after editions, we regularly hear suggestions for annual editions featuring the best stories to keep as keepsakes.

We have now brought this idea to life for the first time. We asked the creative teams in our four editorial departments to select their most exciting stories of the year for ESSENZ. In ESSENZ, you’ll find feature stories “for the ages”—from wine expert Jens Priewe’s manifesto against the wine crisis in DER FEINSCHMECKER to the feature on the sustainable vintage boom (“The Dignity of Age”) in Robb Report.

In addition, ESSENZ also features original content, such as the signature essay at the beginning of the magazine on the individual, personal meaning of luxury for each of us—written by Anne Haladin, the new co-editor-in-chief of Robb Report.

The print run of 30,000 copies will be distributed not only through traditional channels but also through other exclusive outlets, such as leading luxury hotels, first-class lounges, limousine services, and art galleries. The magazine is available digitally via Readly.

The second issue is scheduled for release on November 12, 2027.
