In 1901 it became the official magazine of the SPD and its property.[2] The magazine's decline and end came with the hyperinflation of the 1920s. It became the most important organ of the SPD, competing with Sozialistische Monatshefte.[3] It was edited by Karl Kautsky and until their withdrawal from the SPD in 1917. Following that, Heinrich Cunow took over as its chief editor.
