The first edition, written almost entirely by Kalisch, saw 4,000 copies printed, all of which were sold within 24 hours. Two other writers, Ernst Dohm and Rudolf Löwenstein, were then employed. Wilhelm Scholz's drawings appeared in the second edition, and would do so for the next 40 years.^[2] The magazine sold 50,000 copies in 1890 and 85,000 copies in 1911.^[3]

Originally, the Kladderadatsch was a liberal magazine,^[3] but grew more conservative over the years. During the Bismarck era, the journal supported the Chancellor's policies; during the Weimar era, its stance was German-nationalist. After the 1923 takeover by the industrialist Hugo Stinnes, the magazine's contents became increasingly right-wing and showed some sympathy with Hitler and National socialism.^[4] The magazine adopted an aggressive satirical approach towards the Jews after 1933 in line with the Nazi magazine Die Brennessel.^[5]
