The magazine emerged from the literary magazine Banater Schrifttum , founded in Timișoara in 1949 , which was published as the literary yearbook of the Timişoara branch of the Writers' Union in the Romanian People's Republic . The second issue was published in January 1951, the third as an almanac in October 1951. In 1956 the magazine was renamed Neue Literatur . In 1958 it moved its editorial office to Bucharest , where it was now published as the national journal of the Writers' Union. From 1960 six editions were published annually. In 1965 a booklet on Franz Kafka was published . In 1968 Tristan Tzara and Guillaume Apollinaire were introduced to the readership .

From 1968 the magazine appeared monthly and reached an annual volume of around 1500 pages. Young authors such as those of the Action Group Banat were promoted and questions of cultural and literary self-image were discussed. In 1975 the sheet printed texts by the young, disobedient generation of GDR poets in several series. The circulation was 3000 pieces, several hundred of which were in demand abroad. In many parts of the German-speaking world, the magazine was considered to be one of “the most interesting, liveliest and most readable” literary publications of its time.

From 1958 to 1984 Emmerich Stoffel was editor-in-chief of the magazine, Arnold Hauser was deputy editor-in-chief from 1960 to 1984 and from 1985 to 1988 editor-in-chief.
