The Badener Tagblatt was a free-thinking - liberal Swiss daily newspaper in Baden , Canton Aargau . In November 1996 it merged with the Aargauer Tagblatt to form the Aargauer Zeitung .

history

The Tagblatt der Stadt Baden was founded in 1856 by the teacher, printer and politician Josef Zehnder . Before that, he published the previous newspapers, the Aargauer Volkszeitung (1836–1838), the Aargauer Zeitung (1839–1840), the Swiss Village Newspaper ( 1840–1850) and the daily Neue Eidgenössische Zeitung (1848). From this and the foreign paper , the daily published guest list of the health resort, the daily paper of the city of Baden emerged in 1856 , which was renamed the Badener daily paper in 1870 .

In 1894 Zehnder's grandson, Otto Wanner senior, and in 1939 his sons Eugen and Otto Wanner junior, in the mid-1950s Otto Wanner took over the Badener Tagblatt alone . From 1986 to 1996 he and his son Peter Wanner ran the company together, Otto Wanner as editor-in-chief and Peter Wanner as publishing director. With the merger to form the Aargauer Tagblatt , Peter Wanner took over the Badener Tagblatt alone.

The Tagblatt led until the merger in 1996 during several decades a fierce and often nasty competition with the Aargauer Zeitung , especially in the natural dispersion area of the two newspapers, Brugg , the Frick Valley and the free Office . In addition to the Baden main edition, the Bremgarter Tagblatt and the Freiämter Nachrichten appeared as regional editions . In 1988 the Badener Tagblatt took over the Limmattaler and Limmat newspapers (and merged them to form the Limmattaler Tagblatt ) and in 1992 the Catholic Aargauer Volksblatt . The Badener Tagblatt was also involved in the electronic media, for example in 1990 with the local radio station Radio Argovia (together with the Aargauer Tagblatt ) and in 1995 with the regional television station Tele M1 .

As a result of the industrial boom, which the Baden region experienced at the end of the 19th century, primarily through the establishment of the BBC in the city, the Badener Tagblatt also found increasing circulation and reached a circulation of more than 50,000 copies. The Aargauer Tagblatt's “disastrous large or bad investments in machinery” and the economic downturn at the time ultimately led to the merger of the Badener Tagblatt and the Aargauer Tagblatt . It was preceded by a collaboration on national advertisements ("AG Kombi") and supplements such as the Geneva Motor Show .

The last editor-in-chief of the Badener Tagblatt was Hans Fahrländer, who became deputy editor-in-chief of the merged product Aargauer Zeitung under Franz Straub, previously editor-in-chief of the Aargauer Zeitung . Well-known editors and employees of the newspaper were u. a. Peter Hartmeier , Beat Kirchhofer , Robert Mächler , Peter Mieg , Michael Schneider , Markus Spillmann and Hedi Wyss .
