Edition history
According to Roland Krischke, Saturn was initially "largely contested by the two editors and their literary friends in Heidelberg." These obviously included the long-time friend of Kurt Hiller and Ernst Blass , the psychologist and psychiatrist Arthur Kronfeld , who had been from Berlin and who had been since 1908 lived in Heidelberg and at the city's 1910 Psychiatric University hospital had started his residency training: the 2nd year of Saturn contains on pages 197-199 of his pen a review of Karl Hauer's book from the cheerful and unfröhlichen people from the Viennese publisher Jahoda & Siegel .
As an employee at the of Richard Weissbach edited monthly supplement of the Heidelberger newspaper literature and science Kronfeld has probably contributed to the fact that Hiller in issue no. 7 of July 1911 under the title The most recently Berlin his "clique of poets, glossators and otherwise Logophilischen who are currently in Berlin for the new generation holds " could imagine the literary interested in Heidelberg (where Hiller also Ferdinand Hardekopf , Erich Unger, Robert Jentzsch, William S. Ghuttman, Golo Gangi , Ernst Blass , Ludwig Rubiner and Georg Heym called , which Arthur Drey presented in a separate article in the same issue). “We are Expressionists” wrote Hiller in this article, and for the first time applied a term used by visual artists to poets and writers.
Herbert Grossberger was a childhood friend of Hermann Meister, who founded his first publishing house, in which only a small octave volume appeared, in 1909 at the age of 19 and after the "name of the handwritten magazine that the literary enthusiast had been producing since he was 15" with Großberger , Had called Pendel-Verlag . His second attempt with Saturn Verlag was more successful. In addition to Saturn , which later also featured articles by Paul Zech , Else Lasker-Schüler , Robert Walser , Oskar Baum, Otto Stoessl, Ernst Weiß and Stefan Zweig , from 1912 he was also able to publish the small books on Saturn and, with Die Flut, the first expressionist collection Bring out prose , while Richard Weissbach published Der Kondor von Hiller, the first collection of expressionist poetry in Heidelberg in the same year .
