Sozialistische Monatshefte

[1] The journal was originally founded in 1895 by Johannes Sassenbach as Der sozialistische Akademiker - Organ der sozialistischen Studirenden und Studirten deutscher Zunge (The Socialist Academic - Organ of the Socialist Students and German Speaking Academics).

From then on Joseph Bloch continued the journal under the title Sozialistische Monatshefte as chief editor in July 1897, restarting the volume count.

The magazine was close to the political viewpoint of the publisher, the revisionist wing of the SPD, but also offered room for representatives of other views, including some anarchists and sympathizers of Labor Zionism.

[6] Another fixed component was the column Frauenbewegung (Women's Movement) supervised by Wally Zepler [de].

In addition, the Monatshefte published belletristic texts, for example, 17 novellas by the West Prussian writer Elisabeth Siewert [de] appeared between 1908 and 1923.
