Ver Sacrum (meaning "Sacred Spring" in Latin) was the official magazine of the Vienna Secession. Founded by Gustav Klimt and Max Kurzweil,[1] it was published from 1898 to 1903,[2][3] featuring drawings and designs in the Secession style along with literary contributions from distinguished writers from across Europe. Koloman Moser was the magazines chief designer.[4] These included Rainer Maria Rilke, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Maurice Maeterlinck, Knut Hamsun, Otto Julius Bierbaum, Richard Dehmel, Ricarda Huch, Conrad Ferdinand Meyer, Josef Maria Auchentaller and Arno Holz.[5]
