The magazine was established in 1920[1][2] under the name of Klinte.[3] Its founders were the expressionist artists Knud Bruun-Rasmussen and Johannes Weltzer.[3] It was published with this title for one year and was renamed as Ung dansk Litteratur and then as Vild Hvede.[3][4] The latter title was adopted during the editorship of Viggo F. Møller from 1930.[3] Halfdan Rasmussen and the cartoonist Ernst Clausen took over the editorship in 1952, and they renamed the magazine as Hvedekorn.[3]
