history

The subtitle of the magazine was anarchist-communist organ and represented an opposition to the journal Freiheit (1879 to 1910) published by Johann Most . R. Gundersen was named as the editor, the editing was with Josef Peukert , P. Wallhausen and Erich Otto Rinke . The Autonomie was initially published biweekly, from November 1890 weekly, a total of 211 issues were published. In terms of content, the magazine represented the communist anarchism of Peter Kropotkin , who sympathized with the paper. A few articles were first translated into German by Kropotkin. Mostly articles by J. Peukert and P. Wallhausen were to be read. According to the Socialist Law , a “ law against the endangering efforts of social democracy ” (original title), the magazine was banned in 1887 and later again in 1892 according to the “Reich Press Law” in force at that time. As a result, Die Autonomie as an anarchist exile and underground magazine lost its influence in libertarian circles. Like freedom , autonomy had some meaning among the Czech and Flemish anarchists. A regional association of Bohemian libertarians joined the Autonomy Club in London.

In July 1890 the colporteur of the Berlin Autonomy Anges Reinhold was sentenced to six years in prison and six years of loss of honor for distributing leaflets . The charges against her were lese majesty , inducement to treasonous enterprise and offenses against public order . Karl Wagenknecht received two years and six months imprisonment as a colporteur.

Contributions by, among others, Conrad Fröhlich, John Henry Mackay , Rudolf Rocker , Albert Behr, P. Kropotkin, Josef Schütz, Oscar Wilde have been published. The predecessor of Die Autonomie was “The Rebel” (Geneva and London, 1881 to 1886). The successor magazines were “ Der Anarchist ” (St. Louis, 1889 to 1895) and “Der Kämpfer” (St. Louis 1896, 6 issues).

A series of booklets affiliated to the magazine with the title Anarchist-Communist Library was published in London from 1887 to around 1891/1893, published by the “Group Autonomy”. Issues 1, 2, 4, 6 and 11 contained texts by Kropotkin, Revolutionary Governments (Book 1), The Wage System (Book 4), Anarchist Morals (Book 6). By JH Mackay The Old and the Young. A dialogue from the author of “Sturm” (Book 3). By Joseph Peukert (Book 5 OCR). Issues 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 9 were banned between February 1888 and February 1893.
