What was the name of the journal where Albert Einstein published his 1905 papers?

Albert Einstein published his 1905 papers in the journal Annalen der Physik.

The four famous papers addressed light quanta and the photoelectric effect, Brownian motion, special relativity, and mass–energy equivalence. Together they transformed physics and earned 1905 its reputation as Einstein’s “miracle year.” Some accounts count his dissertation as a fifth 1905 paper, but the journal publication answer remains the same.

Annalen der Physik was a major German physics journal. Einstein’s papers appeared under German titles, including “Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper,” his landmark special-relativity paper. The famous equation E=mc² came from a short follow-up published in the same journal later that year.

A common mix-up is to choose Physical Review, Nature, or Science, all influential journals but not the venue for this cluster of Einstein’s 1905 work. “Annals of Physics” is the English translation of Annalen der Physik, not a different publication in this context.
