Der Querschnitt

[1] According to Erika Esau, the magazine "represented the politically detached aspirations of the aesthetically attuned of the Western world.

Lightheartedly snobbish, the magazine's inclusions of works by anyone who was anybody in the Weimar period and its unorthodox graphic and literary style qualifies it as an avant-garde publication.

"[2] Der Querschnitt was seen as a German counterpart of the American magazine The Dial by some.

An unrelated newspaper of the same name was circulated to 3,000 German prisoners of war in Opelika, Alaska from 1945 to 1947.
