Poor Conrad (even the poor K onrad was written) a German anarchist magazine, published in Berlin 1896 to 1899.

title

At the beginning of the 16th century , secret farmers' unions formed the basis for the later peasant uprisings in Germany . Towards the end of the 15th century, the Bundschuh “conspiratorial group” was formed . After this group was broken up, mentioned in a document since 1503, a new farmers' union with the name Armer Konrad was formed. The magazine Der arme Conrad got its title name after this secret group of conspirators (issue no. 1, page 1).

history

According to the self- image of the publisher Edmund Fischer and the editors Rosa Bareits , Albert Weidner , Friedrich Wilhelm Dempwolf , Gustav Friedrich and others, the issue of the magazine was formulated in impressive words in No. 1: a “point of light on be for all fellow sufferers ”and to show them the day of liberation“ from the swamp of social depravity ”. The weekly newspaper for the working people was committed to combating the existing hypocrisy, coercion, lies, fraud, vanity and prejudice as well as fanaticism.

In 1896 and 1898, various editions were banned under the laws in force at the time. Poor Conrad was driven out together with the magazine Der Sozialist , but with its own magazine and year count and had to be paid extra. The magazine wanted to address agricultural and industrial workers in particular with articles by Bruno Wille , Gustav Landauer , Ludwig Börne , Hoffmann von Fallersleben , Friedrich Bodenstedt , Ludwig Anzengruber , Heinrich Heine , Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi and Ludwig Uhland .
