The Arbeiter-Zeitung ( AZ in short form), AZ as a newspaper title from the beginning of September 1970 (from the beginning of 1961 with AZ initially only as an additional logo), was the “ mouthpiece ” of Austrian social democracy for almost its entire publication time and appeared - with often changing title additions - from 1889 to 1938 and from 1945 to 1991.

After the dictatorship-related ban by the Austro-Fascist corporate state in connection with the February struggles, the paper was initially published after the last regular edition on February 12, 1934 (number 41 in the 47th year) as an exile magazine until February 1937 (as the 1st to 4th year) Brno and from March 1937 to the last edition on March 15, 1938 (as 4th and 5th year) from Paris . It was only after the re-establishment of the Republic of Austria that the Arbeiter-Zeitung could appear again as number 1 from August 1945 in the 47th year. From its first edition in 1889 until 1989 (after the sale of 90 percent of the shares in private hands), the newspaper was directly or indirectly owned by the Austrian Social Democrats, initially owned by the founders from around the party, later under the respective, historically adapted party name of today's Social Democratic Party of Austria . The following restructuring measures could not stop the decline of the paper any more - on October 31, 1991 the Arbeiter-Zeitung was discontinued after more than 100 years of eventful history.

history

Previous publications

The first workers newspaper from the environment of the Austrian social democracy was Das Wiener Allgemeine Arbeiterblatt, which had its editorial office at Wiener Kohlmarkt  260 (today at Kohlmarkt 8 in the inner city ) in 1848 .

The direct predecessor was the journal Die Equality , which first appeared on December 11, 1886 and was banned in 1889 . Sozialdemokratisches Wochenblatt, ( equality for short ) , which was published by the young Viennese doctor Viktor Adler and had its editorial office at Gumpendorfer Strasse 73 in the 6th district of Mariahilf . Ludwig August Bretschneider was the responsible editor .

The working class was in the 1880s under hard pressure of the state of emergency, which the former clerical k.k. Government under Eduard Taaffe had imposed: Taaffe built a police-state surveillance system, severely restricted the freedom of the press and in 1884 introduced harsh laws against the labor movement ; the unions were dissolved. The movement split up into the two warring wings of the "radicals" and the "moderates". In this environment, Adler founded the weekly equality and was soon able to unite the two factions around his paper. Two years after the paper was founded, at the Hainfeld party congress at the end of 1888 , he was able to unite the radicals and the moderates in the new, united Austrian Social Democratic Workers' Party (SDAP) and was elected its first chairman. The new dawn of socialism also penetrated the masses of the working class through the still small weekly newspaper Equality, which became known for its socially committed and rousing reports.

On the first May Day on May 1st, 1890, the Arbeiter-Zeitung had already been founded, "[blew up] [the] massive mass uprising of the Austrian workers [...] the state of emergency":

“The great history of the Austrian labor movement began with the establishment of“ equality ”. It showed the Austrian working class the way that led to the great electoral rights struggle, to countless successful trade union formations and trade union struggles, and finally to the Republic and Red Vienna . "

- Arbeiter-Zeitung on December 20, 1936

The equality, confiscated 45 times in the short time it appeared, was "forced to discontinue on June 14, 1889" (quoted from: dasrotewien.at - Lexicon of Social Democracy in Vienna, undated ) and Viktor Adler was sentenced to four months' arrest. Deviating from this, however, it was stated in the Arbeiter-Zeitung in the issue of December 20, 1936: “…, the“ equality ”was stopped by the police on June 21, 1889; … “A few weeks later, in July of the same year, the Arbeiter-Zeitung was launched as the immediate successor.

Monarchy, World War I and the interwar period

The first periodical, called Arbeiter-Zeitung , appeared for the first time on July 12, 1889, initially every second and fourth Friday of the month and with the newspaper title Arbeiterzeitung. - Organ of the Austrian Social Democracy. (With final dots; Arbeiterzeitung still set without hyphen / double hyphen .) The Vienna- based newspaper was founded by Viktor Adler according to unanimous sources. According to the imprint, the founding persons were Julius Popp and Rudolf Pokorny as editors and Ludwig August Bretschneider as editor in charge. From the first number onwards, printing was carried out in the cooperative book printing house at Alserstraße 32 in the 9th district, Alsergrund , and there until February 1893. As with the previous paper, Gleichheit (see above), the editorial office was at Gumpendorfer Strasse 73. From February 1893 to April 24, 1900, printing took place at Universitätsstrasse 6-8, editorial and expediting were at Schwarzspanierstrasse 10 / Ferstelgasse 6 moved. During this time the newspaper had a circulation of around 24,000 copies.

For the first time from October 18, 1889, the title of the newspaper was on Arbeiter⸗Zeitung. (first with a double hyphen inside the leaf remained for the time being Arbeiterzeitung converted received) as well as weekly show every Friday, from 31 October 1893 was followed by an additional Tuesday edition. With the issue of December 19, 1889, the point after Arbeiter-Zeitung was no longer there.

On January 1, 1895 - this date was declared to be the founding date of the newspaper for the next few decades, regardless of which year the newspaper continued to count from 1889 - the changeover to daily was made by the owners Julius Popp and Jakob Reumann and Viktor Adler, who was the editor Frequency of publication under the title (still with a final point) Arbeiter-Zeitung - Central Organ of Austrian Social Democracy. The rhyming lead article “To the first number” read: “'Arbeiter-Zeitung - first number! Is the last day already here? ' […] ”“ One of those who founded the paper in 1895 ”was the then chairman of the Socialist Party of Austria in 1945, according to his own account.

Before the First World War , the Arbeiter-Zeitung was regarded as an organ of class struggle . During the First World War, the evening paper AZ was also published in the evening (the source for this is the entry in dasrotewien.at, in the online archive ANNO of the national library, however, there is no such evening paper as a digitized edition.) In the interwar period, the Arbeiter-Zeitung was the official central organ the social democracy of German Austria , regional newspapers and, from 1927, the popular small format Das Kleine Blatt appeared next to it .

Austrofascism

On the way of the government to the Austro-Fascist corporate state , the emergency ordinance of March 7, 1933 for war economics ordered that all newspapers that had already been confiscated up to this point could be obliged by an order of the Federal Chancellor, the compulsory pieces of the newspaper for two hours to be delivered to the authority before dissemination. As was to be read in the edition of July 4, 1933, this served - known as the naturalized name "Vorzensur" - the press police, public prosecutor and judicial review in order, admitted by the authorities, to facilitate confiscation if necessary. In addition to the Arbeiter-Zeitung, this harassment also affected Die Kleine Zeitung. The editorial staff of the Arbeiter-Zeitung solved the situation in such a way that it had put in the head of the title page "Under Vorzensur" in the editions from March 26 to July 3, 1933. On July 3, the police sent the editorial staff a notice, according to which the Arbeiter-Zeitung was forbidden "to continue to have the words 'Under Vorzensur' appear at the head of the paper." July 1933 with changed addition “Under stricter submission obligation” distributed in the header of the title page.

Exile newspaper in illegality

After the February fights began on February 12, 1934 , the edition of the Arbeiter-Zeitung appeared on that day as usual and without notice, after the newspaper was banned, both the daily edition and the editorial staff in Vienna were sealed. The editorial staff produced the Arbeiter-Zeitung from February 25, 1934 in exile in Brno , starting with “No. 1 ", recount as" 1. Year ”and with the addition“ Published weekly. ”The publisher was Václav Kovanda and the responsible editor Josef Schramek was shown in the imprint. In the Brno edition of November 22, 1936, the editors announced that the Czechoslovak Republic would no longer permit the publication of the paper due to a change in its foreign policy and also wrote that the Arbeiter-Zeitung should continue to appear. Regardless of this, according to the imprint in the subsequent editions, the newspaper was still published in Brno. Until it was finally discontinued, further issues appeared on November 25, December 12 and 20, 1936 and more than 20 times in 1937 in irregular periods.

With the issue of March 3, 1937 in the 4th year of the Arbeiter-Zeitung, now without any title addition, the publication of the newspaper was relocated to Paris , with the issue of March 31, 1937 the place of issue was also placed on the front page (“Paris, [Date] ”) and the issue price has been set from 20  groschen to 50 French centimes . The newspaper stayed in Paris, with changing editorial offices and mostly every fortnight as a Wednesday edition (occasionally as a Saturday edition) until the very last edition on November 20, 1937, on which the headline was: “The RS [=  Austrian Revolutionary Socialists ] to the working class. "

Re-establishment in the post-war period

After the Second World War , in the resurrected Republic of Austria , the daily newspaper with number 1 appeared in the 47th year (according to the front page) and for the time being - like the “Zentralorgan” - as a Arbeiter-Zeitung - the central organ of the Socialist Party of Austria for the first time on August 5, 1945. In this an open letter from the then chairman of the Socialist Party of Austria " Karl Seitz to our readers" was printed:

“It fills me with deep joy and inner satisfaction that the Arbeiter-Zeitung is published again today for the first time after eleven years of forced silence. For us Social Democrats, this is not only a political but also a symbolic event. It proves the victory of democratic socialism over fascist tyranny, it means the rebirth of our freedom of thought and speech.

With this in mind, I greet the new and old readers of the Arbeiter-Zeitung as one of those who founded this paper in 1895, and I promise them at the same time that the revived central organ of the party, as it was once under Viktor Adler, will be a courageous lawyer and loyal friend of the working people of Austria will be.

Vienna, August 4, 1945. "

- Karl Seitz : In: Arbeiter-Zeitung, No. 1/1945, 47th year

The owner was the Socialist Party of Austria , as the SPÖ-owned company, the Sozialistischer Verlag Ges. M. b. H. as a publisher and the Vorwärts-Verlag (printing and publishing company "Vorwärts", limited partnership ) as a printing company is involved in production.

Under the editor-in-chief Oscar Pollak , who had returned from exile, the newspaper was allowed to occasionally swipe at US media policy (such as the preference for the Viennese courier ) in occupied post-war Austria, as its reporting was both permanently anti-communist and anti-Soviet.

Later the title of the sheet was changed to AZ - Tagblatt für Österreich (often also cited as AZ or A. Z. ), the central organ and the party name as a title addition disappeared. Until 1955, as the leading party newspaper, the newspaper was the daily newspaper with the highest circulation in Austria - not least because the Kleine Blatt was only allowed to re-appear as a weekly newspaper.

Decline and attempts at restructuring

The general decline of the party newspapers in general and the loss of importance for the Socialist Party of its own party organ in particular led the AZ to financial problems in the 1960s and 1970s . There was a slow decline in circulation and an aging readership, especially subscribers. Alternative press experiments by the SPÖ, such as the Neue Zeitung published from 1967 to 1971 , failed. The state press funding established in 1974 , which particularly benefited AZ , could only alleviate and postpone the financial crisis. In 1984 the Salzburger Tagblatt and later the Neues Salzburger Tagblatt became a regional mutation of the AZ, in 1987 a similar solution was made regarding the Oberösterreichisches Tagblatt and later the Neues Oberösterreichisches Tagblatt .

Between August 20 and 31, 1985, the administration, management and editing of the AZ, and finally the Vorwärts printing company, gradually moved out of the Vorwärts building and moved to the former Vienna slaughterhouse , Viehmarktgasse 4 in the 3rd district, Landstrasse . With the issue of October 16, 1985 , the previous title was extended to Neue AZ - Tagblatt für Österreich and the font logo was adapted to the zeitgeist , with the addition "Founded in 1889 as [in Fraktur as at the foundation:] Arbeiter-Zeitung", which had been used for decades modern designed. Another innovation was the conversion to small format, similar to that of the Kronen Zeitung , which at that time had long since declassified AZ as a “workers newspaper”. At the beginning of June 1987 the title was changed to Neue AZ - Wiener Tagblatt parallel to the federal state editions Salzburger and Oberösterreichisches Tagblatt (see above) .

Sale: From party organ to party-affiliated newspaper

The then Federal Chancellor and Chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Austria , Franz Vranitzky , announced the sale of AZ in 1988 because the party could no longer afford the constant deficit or the necessary investments. Accordingly, as Neue AZ editor-in-chief Manfred Scheuch presented in the March 30, 1989 issue under the title “In my own right”, the managing director of Neue AZ, Hubert Peterschelka, announced initiatives for the possible participation of investors at the end of 1988. Following the developments on the international newspaper market, this should make it possible to move away from the central organ of the party to a newspaper that is close to the social democracy, but independent. Further goals were to enable investments and an increase in circulation. At the end of March 1989 there were six options for investor participation. According to the SPÖ central secretary Peter Marizzi , detailed negotiations had already been carried out on four of the offers and foreign investors were not excluded. After a thorough examination of all serious offers, the SPÖ presidium should be able to come to a decision in the first half of 1989. The editorial team agreed to the goals and the editorial representatives rated the information from the central secretary as positive, but concrete opportunities for codecision were expected. Regardless of the future ownership structure, it was decisive for the editorial team that "even in the 100th year of the AZ [...] Austria will retain a paper with an upright social democratic sentiment."

In the course of 1989 90 percent of the AZ were then sold to the advertising entrepreneur Hans Schmid and his Birko-Holding , the SPÖ kept 10 percent as a minority share. Regardless of the commitment of the editors in the last phase before the hiring, the increasing further economic problems did not allow a successful restart, the Vorwärts-Verlag and the Neue AZ, no longer a party newspaper, remained in deficit. From September 1989 until it was discontinued, the last edition appeared on October 31, 1991 as a non-party newspaper. On January 24, 1992, the creditors agreed to the 40 percent liquidation settlement .

Before it was discontinued, the circulation was around 100,000 (for comparison: in 1948 it was up to 245,000, before the First World War up to 54,000).

Founding years 1889 - 1895 - 1945

In his article “In my own business” on March 30, 1989, the Neue AZ editor-in-chief Manfred Scheuch wrote in a subordinate clause about the 100th year of the AZ, which the day before, on March 29, as part of an event about an “exhibition on the Jubilee “was also celebrated. The then AZ managing director Hubert Peterschelka is quoted in the report on the event as saying: “Not many newspapers can look back on a hundred-year history. The social democratic tradition is unbroken and should also be carried into the future. ”(AZ, March 31, 1989, p. 4; cf. also Pelinka / Scheuch: 100 years AZ. The history of the Arbeiter-Zeitung, 1989, see section Literature ).

This is remarkable because with the 100-year count in 1989, the original year of foundation with the first edition on July 12, 1889 (number 1, 1st year) was used: In contrast, the "first" Arbeiter-Zeitung, also in the editions that continued to be published as an illegal exile newspaper after the ban in 1934 and until 1938, declares the date of the changeover (January 1, 1895) to the daily publication date for founding anniversaries as the date of the newspaper's foundation, regardless of the year continued to be counted from 1889 (by incrementing the number of years from 37 to 38 in the middle of the calendar year 1925, which resulted in two 47th years, 1935 and 1945). Anniversary editions were published on January 1st in 1905 (10 years; XVIIth year), 1920 (25 years; XXXIIth year) and 1925 (30 years; XXXVIIth year).

Building of the printing and publishing company "Vorwärts" around 1912

Printing and publishing house "Vorwärts"

The newspaper was in the course of its different newspaper titles from 1910 to February 12, 1934 as a Arbeiter-Zeitung and after the re-establishment from August 5, 1945 to 1986 as a Arbeiter-Zeitung and later as AZ and Neue AZ in the 1910 related and later The traditional publishing and party building of the Vorwärts-Verlag at the Rechten Wienzeile 97 in the 5th district of Vienna, Margareten , was printed, where the office of the party executive (central secretariat) was also located until 1934. With the purchase of the property at Wienstraße 89a, since September 1911 Rechts Wienzeile 97, with the already existing house and the print shop in the backyard of the Viennese publishing house , which at the time had just become insolvent, the social democratic organizations (in addition to the workers' Newspaper and the publisher, as were the party organizations and the red union) enough space was created; for the Arbeiter-Zeitung this meant a surge in modernization. Before moving in, Hubert Gessner , a friend of Viktor Adler and a graduate of Otto Wagner's “School for Architecture”, was entrusted with the renovation that gave the Vorwärts-Haus its distinctive appearance to this day.
