The Simplicissimus (too German: the was an sow-Irish weekly newspaper, which was published from 1896 to 13 September 1944 in Munich. You coat of arms animal sketched by Thomas Theodor Heine were a red Bulldogge on black reason.

It was created by Albert Langen and Thomas Theodor Heine and was originally actually not not as satire sheet, but conceives primarily as art and literature revue. This concept was fast rejected. The Simplicissimus started on 1 April 1896 with a very high edition (480,000 copies are to have been), from the first expenditures however only few copies was sold, from the first edition only approximately 1,000 pieces. The popularity and thus the obtained conversion of the magazine rose rapidly, it lasted however for a long time, until it became profitable for the publishing house. The publisher shank of the Simplicissimus was connected thus also for being enough with large financial risk.

Coworkers of the Simplicissimus were among other things Heinrich Kley, Olaf Gulbransson, Rudolf Kriesch, Thomas's man, Ludwig Thoma, Hermann Hessian, George Queri, franc Wedekind, Eduard Gustav Meyrink and Karl Arnold. (This row of authors and caricaturists could be continued still further.)

The magazine aimed at the civil moral, the church, the wilhelminische policy, an official, the military and different political groupings of the time. In Austria Hungary the sheet was forbidden, Heine and Wedekind sat occasionally because of majesty offense in the prison. Quite often expenditures were completely konfisziert. 1898 were already condemned the publisher being enough to a fine by 30.000 Marks. It went besides 5 years into the exile into Switzerland, in order to escape an arrest.

During the First World War the Simplicissimus lost occasionally much from its critical clay/tone and quite supported the tenor of propaganda. In the time of the Weimar Republic it turned again strengthened against on the right of like left-wing extremistic political groups and parties and turned out themselves increasingly in conflict with the national socialists. 1933 were devastated the editorship by the SA. After Hitler's seizure of power the clay/tone of the sheet changed itself again: Heine had for example fled; Gulbransson, and Arnold remained more uncritical and became, while Erich Schilling supported the regime actively.

Unknown far away is the attempt of an expenditure for emigration of the Simplicissimus, which appeared in Prague from January to September 1934; it was drawn up on German and Czech. In addition still during being enough lifetimes before the First World War some numbers had appeared to a so-called "edition , consisting of the original pressure with a Beihefter, which contained the captions in French translation. But being enough had harvested however criticism, it thereby the "hereditary enemy" into the hands would play.

The magazine is also name giver 1903 of the created artist restaurant Simplicissimus in Munich Schwabing (today urban district max suburb). Parts of the Simplicissimus circle belonged there to the regular customers.

Under the indication of the Bulldogge Olaf Iversen in the post-war period tried unsuccessfully a restart; the last expenditure appeared 1967.
