The Berlin booklets on the history of literary life are a literary series of publications that deal with people, institutions and phenomena in the German-language literary scene.

Each issue has an average of around 250 pages and is dedicated to a certain focus (for example occasional poems in the 19th century , literature from the GDR , Gottfried Benn's correspondence with Richard Alewyn and Margret Boveri , Günter Eich and Ilse Aichinger ). In contributions from various literary scholars - mostly with a socio-historical focus - little-known or previously unpublished documents from bequests are edited or presented and discussions with authors are published.

The series was published from 1996 at the Humboldt University in Berlin by the two professors of modern German literature Roland Berbig and Peter Wruck , in whose place the literary scholar Hannah Markus took over as co-editor in 2008. This is done with the support of an advisory board. The magazine is published by Verlag für Berlin-Brandenburg .
