Lustige Blätter (German: Comic Pages) was a satirical magazine published between 1885 and 1944 in Berlin. Its subtitle was schönstes buntes Witzblatt Deutschlands (German: Germany's most beautiful colorful humor paper).

History and profile

Lustige Blätter was established by the writer Alexander Moszkowski in Berlin in 1885.[1] From 1887 to 1891 it was a supplement to Berliner Börsen-Courier.[1][2] Moszkowski and Paul von Schönthan were the founding editors-in-chief of the magazine.[1] The former held the post until his retirement in 1927.[1] The magazine was published on a weekly basis and featured satirical articles and cartoons about social and cultural events.[1] Heinrich Zille, Lyonel Feininger, Walter Trier[3] and Julius Klinger were among its leading caricaturists and illustrators.[1] Other major contributors of the magazine were Bruno Balz, Betty Korytowska, Max Brinkmann, Rudolf Presber, Gustav Hochstetter, and Georg Mühlen-Schulte.[1]

The magazine held a liberal political stance.[4] However, during the Nazi period it contained anti-semitic material.[5] Lustige Blätter folded in 1944.[1]
