Employees of the first edition were u. a. Henry Meyer-Brockmann , Rudolf Schlichter , Otto Dix and Erich Kästner . Gradually employees of the old Simplicissimus joined forces , such as Olaf Gulbransson , Otto Nückel , Franziska Bilek , Rudolf Kriesch and others. a., added, which strengthened the political stance. Occasional employees included Josef Hegenbarth , Rudolf Schlichter Bele Bachem and Max Radler . The texts were mainly from Heinz Hartwig , E. Horn , W. F. Kloeck and Hans Reimann . Even Walter Kolbenhoff published several posts. In June 1949 Ernst Maria Lang added to the group of main cartoonists.

For economic reasons, Der Simpl stopped appearing in March 1950.
