I have looked into some other editions (Bärenreiter, Peters, Breitkopf & Härtel, Schott) - the barlines are always thicker than the stafflines.

Yes, but by how much?

Maybe these extremely thick barlines are a German practice. I note that all the editions you mentioned are from Germany or Austria, and in my own library, the thickest barlines seem to belong to editions from German-speaking or heavily German-influenced areas (Henle, Könemann [actually Hungarian], Wiener Urtext). Thinner barlines are used by American publishers such as Schirmer and International. I have not investigated editions from other countries yet.

I'll post scans of all this later today.

Best,
