history

Free stage for modern life (1890-1891)

The theater critic Otto Brahm and the publisher Samuel Fischer founded the magazine in 1890 as a free stage for modern life . With the monthly publication you wanted to give a stage in particular to new art movements such as naturalism . In practice, however, the magazine was not limited to one type of art. The first crisis came in July 1890 when the editor Arno Holz and his associate colleague Hermann Bahr left the magazine in protest.

Open stage for the struggle for development of the time (1892-1893)

After disputes about the artistic focus of the magazine, it was renamed for the first time in 1892 as Free Stage for the Struggle for Development of the Time . This was accompanied by a switch to more popular content and to a monthly publication. The main work was done by Wilhelm Bölsche , who won Bruno Wille and the brothers Heinrich and Julius Hart as employees. This is how the green notebooks became an institution in Berlin's intellectual life.

New Deutsche Rundschau (1894–1903)

In November 1893 Otto Julius Bierbaum took over the editing of the magazine, which he renamed the Neue Deutsche Rundschau , based on the Deutsche Rundschau . Due to differences with Samuel Fischer, he gave up the position after four months.

From 1894 to 1922 Oskar Bie was the managing editor.

The new Rundschau

In 1904 it was renamed Die neue Rundschau . The magazine subsequently became one of the most important forums for modern literature and essay writing in the Wilhelmine German Empire and in the Weimar Republic . The close connection between the journal and Fischer Verlag was noticeable, and this also had an impact on the publishing practice: the publishing house's important writers were able to publish first copies here and their works were reviewed by colleagues from the same publishing house. The reviewers and authors of literary essays included important literary critics such as Alfred Kerr and writers such as Robert Musil , Thomas Mann , Oskar Loerke , and Robert Walser .

In the years from 1919 to 1921 Alfred Döblin also wrote  for the magazine - under the pseudonym Linke Poot .

After Oskar Bie, Rudolf Kayser took over the management and from 1932 Peter Suhrkamp . During the National Socialist rule , the magazine could initially continue to appear and was only banned shortly before the end of the war in 1944. It was founded again in 1945 by Gottfried Bermann-Fischer in exile in Stockholm and is still published today.
