history

Alexander Moszkowski worked for the satirical magazine Berliner Wespen from 1877 to 1886 . After a dispute with the publisher, Julius Stettenheim , he founded the Lustige Blätter with Otto Eysler in 1886 - initially in Hamburg . Three months after the magazine was founded, the editorial team moved to Berlin. From 1887 to 1891, the Lustige Blätter appeared as a free supplement to the Berliner Börsen-Courier with a print run of 20,000, then as an independent magazine. During the Weimar Republic they reached a circulation of up to 60,000 copies. Moszkowski headed the magazine - initially together with Paul von Schönthan - until October 1914, then again after the First World War. In 1944 the funny papers were discontinued.
