The Oekonomische Encyklopädie is a German encyclopaedia started by Johann Georg Krünitz. It appeared in 242 volumes between 1773 and 1858 and each volume has about 600-800 pages.
It was originally planned to be a translation of two French-language encyclopaedias, Dictionnaire raisonné universel d'histoire naturelle (1764) and Encyclopédie Oeconomique ou Système général d'Oeconomie rustique, domestique et politique (1771–72), but developed into a separate work that much surpassed the originals. Significant parts were also based on the Grosses vollständiges Universal-Lexicon by Johann Heinrich Zedler.
