Kladderadatsch (German pronunciation: [kladəʁaˈdat͡ʃ]; lit.'Chaos') was a satirical German-language magazine first published in Berlin on 7 May 1848. It appeared weekly or as Kladderadatsch put it: "daily, except for weekdays." It was founded by Albert Hofmann and David Kalisch, the latter the son of a Jewish merchant and the author of several works of comedy. Publication ceased in 1944.
