Schlagblatt is a monthly journal focused on fancy pigeon breeding, exhibition practice, and life in German pigeon-breeding associations. Published in the tradition of BDRG club practice, it presents the hobby as an ongoing discipline spanning breed standards, breeding, rearing, shows, and the practical work of maintaining a pigeon loft. The magazine organizes its coverage into eight sections: breeds, breeding, rearing, exhibitions, health, associations, loft construction, and regional heritage.

Its articles address subjects such as interpreting updated BDRG standards, pairing and flock management, feeding and raising young birds, preparing for shows, judging, veterinary care, and pigeon-house ventilation. Coverage also includes practical exhibition guidance, disease prevention, and the traditions of Thuringian breeds. Schlagblatt publishes one issue each month and offers readers articles, advice, and information relevant to breeders and club members.

Its June 2026 issue features breed-standard updates, preparation for the autumn exhibition season, summer heat protection for lofts, and salmonella prevention in pigeon flocks
