Der Querschnitt. O revistă berlineză interbelică sub direcţia unui poet bucovinean

The article tackles the impact of the illustrated magazine ”Der Querschnitt” on the interwar German culture as well as the contribution of Victor Wittner, a Bukovinean poet and an Editor-in-Chief of the publication, to the development of modern press. The philosophy of the magazine, which was Wittner’s own philosophy, assisted the reader’s acknowledgement of cultural actuality and of alternative worldviews and highlighted the obligation to be acquainted with foreign languages and cultures. ”Der Querschnitt” opened up a serene perspective on humanity that was able to debate congenially in the pages of a magazine from a Germany that had been defeated in war but was undaunted in its desire for progress.
