The bell was a "socialist weekly " for politics, finance, economy and culture, later a weekly for politics and economy, art and culture. It was originally published in Munich by the Munich publishing house for social sciences. The journal was later published in Berlin by Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften. It was published by the aforementioned publisher from the year 1.1915 / 16 to 11.1925. The editor of the paper was Alexander Parvus . The magazine “Die Glocke” was an organ of right-wing social democrats and was initially published as a bi-monthly publication, in 1917 the first issue was changed to weekly.

The editors were Karl Blasenbrei , Konrad Haenisch , Heinrich Cunow , Wilhelm Jansson , Paul Lensch , August Winnig , Max Beer , Ernst Heilmann , Robert Grötzsch , Erich Kuttner and Arno Scholz .

From 1915 the Lensch-Cunow-Haenisch group was formed within the SPD and tried to justify the position of the party majority on the issue of war credits in a Marxist way. They developed the theory of " war socialism " and published it in the Hamburger Echo and other SPD party papers. From mid-1915, Die Glocke , a magazine founded by Alexander Parvus, became the organ of the group.

In the magazine project “Die Glocke”, Parvus and Paul Lensch, former representatives of the left in social democracy, gathered. With the beginning of the First World War, both converted to the social-chauvinist, patriarchal-defending party wing. Lensch managed the feat of mutating from an opponent of the approval of war credits to an exponent of so-called war socialism within a few months. In 1922 he was expelled from the SPD after his engagement for the reactionary industrialist Hugo Stinnes . Parvus was also connected to Stinnes and acquired during the war a. a. an impressive fortune from arms-pushing. With this money Parvus financed, among other things, the bell.

With the 11th year and the 31st issue of October 31, 1925 and under its last editor in charge, Arno Scholz, Parvus discontinued Die Glocke .

Important authors of the magazine were Otto Flake , Johann Plenge , Hedwig Wachenheim , Ernst Reuter , Rudolf Breitscheid , Walter Gropius , Eduard Bernstein , Maxim Gorki , Theodor Heuss , Erich Ollenhauer , Ernst Preczang , Walther Rathenau , Bruno Schönlank , Philipp Scheidemann , Julius Zerfaß and many others .
