Der Eigene

Brand contributed many poems and articles; other contributors included writers Benedict Friedlaender, Hanns Heinz Ewers, Erich Mühsam, Kurt Hiller, Ernst Burchard, John Henry Mackay, Theodor Lessing, Klaus Mann, and Thomas Mann, as well as artists Wilhelm von Gloeden, Fidus, and Sascha Schneider.The title of the journal, Der Eigene (no exact English equivalent but has been translated as The Self-Possessed),[5] refers to the classic anarchist work Der Einzige und sein Eigentum (1844) by Max Stirner.[5] In the 1920s the journal shifted to support the liberal democracy of the Weimar Republic and more specifically the Social Democratic Party.The publisher of Der Eigene had to fight against government censorship, particularly in retaliation against its depictions of nude figures.[7] In a major effort in 2020, Humboldt University of Berlin made available the complete set of the magazine on its website,[8] with censorship in form of pixellation applied to several pages containing artistic photographs and paintings.
