Hugo Kersten
Hugo Kersten (born December 12, 1892 in Danzig ; † October 5, 1919 in Berlin-Schöneberg ) was a German writer and publicist who represented an "impertinent expressionism ". During the First World War he lived in Switzerland . He worked with Emil Szittya , whose book Walk with Sometimes Unnecessary (1920) is dedicated to him. In 1915 they jointly published the short-lived magazine Der Mistral , No. 2 of which was subtitled: Literary War Newspaper. Michael Stark was responsible for the publication of the author's only collection of works.
“When we, Hugo Kersten and I, founded the first European magazine Mistral in Zurich in 1915 during the war, we were not only scorned by the entire Swiss press, but our magazine, which again united people from all parts of the world, unfortunately only got serious later taken. "
