Die Insel
The island was a literary and art magazine, which until 1901 was published as a monthly magazine with book decorations and illustrations in Munich from 1899 and was published by Otto Julius Bierbaum, Alfred Walter Rudolf Alexander Schröder and Heymel.
The island was one of the most important German magazines of the early literary modernism, despite their brief appearance only. In the booklet published texts already known authors such as Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Rainer Maria Rilke. However, new voices were here to read, such as Robert Walser.
The logo of the magazine, a sailing ship, designed Peter Behrens. It is today the logo of the island of publishing, which emerged from the magazine.
