[1] Die Glocke was originally published in Munich by the München Verlag Für Sozialwissenschaften.
The initial editor was Konrad Haenisch with Paul Lensch, Wilhelm Jansson and August Winnig on the permanent editorial team.
Parvus invited Max Beer to become editor-in-chief in 1919, a position he held until February 1921.
Beer attempted to change its content, dropping support for the Majority Social Democratic Party of Germany.
The magazine included reviews of National Socialist pamphlets, which Beer excused on the grounds that the Party was not "prominently" antisemitic during that period.
