a radical artistic periodical published and edited by H. Walden from 1910 -- 1932, supporting Expressionism (see Expressionismus) in literature and painting. Among the writers associated with it are E. Arendt, G. Benn, Döblin, H. Essig, R. Goering, K. Heynicke, A. Holz, K. Kraus, E. Lasker-Schüler, A. Stramm, L. Schreyer, P. Zechm, W. Mehring, and K. Schwitters, whose preface to Anna Blume. Selbstbestimmungsrecht des Künstlers was published in it. Painters it supported included Marc, Chagall, Kokoschka, and W. Kandinsky.

Originally a weekly, Der Sturm appeared from 1916 -- 1932, when it ceased publication, as a monthly periodical. For a few years, until 1921, it sponsored the Kunstbühne in Berlin (also known as Sturm-Bühne), founded by L. Schreyer, who, with Nell Walden, published Der ‘Sturm’. Ein Erinnerungsbuch an H. Walden und die Künstler aus dem Sturmkreis (1954).
