It was launched by Philipp Dengel and Alfons Goldschmidt.^[1] Leo Matthias joined the editorial team. It proclaimed itself the "Organ of the Workers' Councils". It was one of the main vehicles promoting the activities of German Expressionism – an avant-garde art movement – to the working class.^[2]
