Kurt Tucholsky

He also wrote under the pseudonyms Kaspar Hauser (after the Kaspar Hauser, historical figure), Peter Panter, Theobald Tiger and Ignaz Wrobel. A politically engaged journalist and temporary co-editor of the weekly magazine ''Die Weltbühne'', he was simultaneously a satirist, an author of satirical political revues, a songwriter, and a poet. He saw himself as a left-wing democrat and pacifist and warned against anti-democratic tendencies — above all in politics and the military — and the threat of Nazism. His fears were confirmed when the Adolf Hitler's rise to power, Nazis came to power in January 1933.

Berliner Tageblatt
The ''Berliner Tageblatt'' or ''BT'' was a German language newspaper published in Berlin from 1872 to 1939. Along with the '' Frankfurter Zeitung'', it became one of the most important liberal German newspapers of its time. History The ''Berliner Tageblatt'' was first published by Rudolf Mosse as an advertising paper on 1 January 1872, but developed into a liberal newspaper. During World War I, the Berliner Tageblatt published disinformation on April 19, 1915, regarding the alleged use of gas by British forces. This was part of a broader German propaganda effort to accuse the Allies of employing chemical weapons, thereby deflecting attention from their own plans to use poison gas in the upcoming attack at Ypres. On 5 January 1919 the office of the newspaper was briefly occupied by Freikorps soldiers in the German Revolution. By 1920, the ''BT'' had achieved a daily circulation of about 245,000. Prior to the National Socialist administration taking office on 30 January 193 ...

Heinrich Zille
Heinrich Rudolf Zille (10 January 1858 – 9 August 1929) was a German lithographer, illustrator, caricaturist, painter, and photographer. Celebrated as a keen observer of urban life, Zille became best known for his empathetic yet satirical depictions of Berlin's working-class environments during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

His works, which often incorporated the Berlin dialect and sharp wit, captured the essence of an evolving metropolis, leaving a lasting impact on both visual art and social commentary. Life and work Childhood and youth Zille was the son of Johann Traugott Zille (1824–1909), a watchmaker and precision toolmaker from Colditz, and Ernestine Louise (née Heinitz, 1832–1908), the daughter of a silver miner from Erbisdorf in the Ore Mountains.

Satirical Magazines Published In Germany
Satire is a genre of the visual, literary, and performing arts, usually in the form of fiction and less frequently non-fiction, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, often with the intent of exposing or shaming the perceived flaws of individuals, corporations, government, or society itself into improvement. Although satire is usually meant to be humorous, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society. Satire may also poke fun at popular themes in art and film. A prominent feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm—"in satire, irony is militant", according to literary critic Northrop Frye— but parody, burlesque, exaggeration, juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing. This "militant" irony or sarcasm often professes to approve of (or at least accept as natural) the very thing ...
