1852 Das Buch Mormon text
score:2
The recording of Das Buch Mormon appears to have been digitized from cassette tapes produced by the Church, based on information from the site's home page. Recordings were most likely produced from the 1980 edition of the German Book of Mormon – the edition that preceded the current 2003 edition – which explains why the recordings are no longer published by the Church.
The Book of Mormon Project has a PDF that appears to have text from the 1980 edition of the Book of Mormon – based on the copyright date (1985). I don't speak German, so you'll have to let us know if it's the correct edition. :) I was also able to find several used versions of the book in print, for sale online.
From what I can tell, there have been 4 actual translations of the Book of Mormon into German over the years, each of which has had several printings or editions: 1852, 1959, 1980, and 2003. I found some good historical information in the Journal of Book of Mormon Studies, Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought, and Deseret News. I expect there will be a new edition in the next year or two that includes updates from the 2013 edition of the English scriptures, as similar updates have been published in other languages – most recently French, Italian, and Dutch. The current edition of the German Book of Mormon can be found on LDS.org.
If you are interested in looking at the first translation of the German Book of Mormon (1852), which is in the public domain, you can find scans at Archive.org and on Google Books (links below). Good luck parsing the old German Fraktur!
- 1873 edition, copy 1 and copy 2 ("3rd edition")
- 1893 edition ("5th edition," includes standardized chapter and verse numbers)
- 1902 edition (includes study helps)

Part of the problem is the history of that particular book. Published in 1852, when the Iron Curtain fell over East Germany all religious books published 1920 and later had to be destroyed. Though it had to be smuggled into the country, the Soviet government generally allowed the 1852 edition to be kept and used. This over-use of the edition made it a rare LDS book. Available editions are now valued at $110,000. Most of the existing editions today are held by libraries.
The University of Utah and Brigham Young University both have microfilm copies and may be able to produce a duplicate for you. Stanford University Also appears to have this ability, but it's not 100% clear from the page I've listed.
There's undoubtadly a copy in Church Archives, but it's less likely they'll have the facilities to reproduce the book.
