"Die Weltbühne (‘The World Stage’) was a German weekly magazine for politics, art and the economy. It was founded in Berlin in 1905 as Die Schaubühne (‘The Theater’) by Siegfried Jacobsohn and was originally a theater magazine only. In 1913 it began covering economic and political topics and for the next two decades was one of the leading periodicals of Germany’s political left. It was renamed to Die Weltbühne on 4 April 1918. After Jacobsohn's death in December 1926, leadership of the magazine passed to Kurt Tucholsky, who turned it over to Carl von Ossietzky in May of 1927. The Nazi Party banned the publication shortly after it came to power, and the magazine's last issue appeared on 7 March 1933. It continued from exile as Die neue Weltbühne (‘The New World Stage’) until 1939. After the end of World War II, it appeared again under its original name in East Berlin, where it survived until 1993. The magazines Ossietzky (since 1997) and Das Blättchen (‘The Leaflet’, 1998) have followed in the tradition of their famous role model." - (en.wikipedia.org 03.10.2023)
