Die Insel - "aesthetic-belletristic monthly with picture supplement" was a literary and art magazine that appeared in Munich from 1899 to 1902 as a monthly with book decorations and illustrations and was published by Otto Julius Bierbaum , Alfred Walter Heymel and Rudolf Alexander Schröder .
Despite its only short publication of 36 issues in three volumes, the island was one of the most important German magazines of the beginning literary modern age. Texts by well-known authors such as Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Rainer Maria Rilke appeared in the magazine . But there were also new voices to be read here, such as Robert Walser .
The logo of the magazine, a sailing ship, was designed by Peter Behrens . It is still the Insel Verlag logo that emerged from the magazine.
