Der Literat (subtitled trade journal for literature and art ) was a German literary magazine.
The magazine saw itself as a specialist magazine for writers, translators, critics, publicists and generally all writing members of the cultural industry and tried to provide them with relevant or interesting information in connection with their professional activities.
The magazine was founded as an organ of the Hessian regional association of the re-established protection association of German writers with Theodor Tauchel, who was banned from his profession during the Nazi regime, as editor.
Secondary and contradicting voices were repeatedly spoken in the magazine, for example when Klaus Mampel described Group 47 in 1961 as the “literary cartel”. Nevertheless, articles by Peter Handke , Karl Krolow , Siegfried Lenz , Irmtraud Morgner , Dieter Wellershoff and Gabriele Wohmann appeared in the 1970s . Or when Karin Struck spoke about the ritual of the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize in 1977 .
In 1988 Inka Bohl acquired the publishing house and magazine. Theodor Tauchel remained the editor until 1990. In that year the magazine moved from Frankfurt to Bad Soden, where it stayed until the move to Berlin in 2000. In 2008 the magazine was discontinued.
