In 1929 they were combined with the magazine Meggendorfer-Blätter and were published until 1944 under the title Fliegende Blätter and Meggendorfer-Blätter by Verlag J. F.

In addition, flying leaves was the name of aphorisms by the philosopher Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi , which were published in the paperback Minerva in 1817 .

history

Kaspar Braun was primarily responsible for the illustrations, while Friedrich Schneider took care of the texts. In addition to caricatures , poems and stories were published in the Fliegende Blätter , such as the poems of the Swabian schoolmaster Gottlieb Biedermaier and his friend Horatius Treuherz (since 1855) by Adolf Kussmaul .

The individual issues each consisted of eight pages, which were undated for a long time, and were published on a weekly basis.

According to a report in the Leipziger Zeitung, the Fliegende Blätter had a circulation of 15,000 copies in March 1847.

The Fliegende Blätter received general appreciation for their accurate, satirical characterization of the German bourgeoisie. Popular series figures from the magazine since 1845 were the two types Biedermann and Bummelmaier (the term Biedermeier originated from their names ). There were also, for example, the adventures of the fictional Baron Eisele and his court master Dr. Beisele to read.

The illustrations in the Flying Leaves came from well-known artists such as Heinrich von Arx , Ferdinand Barth , Wilhelm Busch (from 1859), Gustav Adolf Closs , Eugen Croissant , Karl Elleder , Josef Nikolaus Geis , Eugen Horstig , Hans Kaufmann , Kaspar Kögler , Franz Kreuzer , Adolf Oberländer , Franz Graf von Pocci , Carl Reinhardt , Emil Reinicke , René Reinicke , Franziska Schlopsnies , Carl Spitzweg , Hermann Stockmann , Gustav Traub , Hermann Vogel and many others.
