Hyperion was a German bimonthly literary magazine published out of Munich by Franz Blei and Carl Sternheim. Between 1908 and 1910, twelve booklets in ten editions appeared.

It was an expensively produced booklet with modern graphics created by Walter Tiemann. Not only were major authors published in the magazine, but also unknown and first-published authors.

The first eight prose works of Franz Kafka appeared in the magazine: The Trees (Die Bäume), Clothes (Kleider), The Rejection (Die Abweisung), The Businessman (Der Kaufmann), Absent-minded Window-gazing (Zerstreutes Hinausschaun), The Way Home (Der Nachhauseweg), Passers-by (Die Vorüberlaufenden) and On the Tram (Der Fahrgast).[1]
