Emmentaler news
The Emmentaler Nachrichten (until 1914 Emmenthaler Nachrichten ) was a regional newspaper in the Swiss canton of Bern from 1883 to 1977 and a forerunner of the Berner Zeitung, which is still published today .
The sheet first appeared on December 26, 1883 in Münsingen . In 1889 the Münsingen publisher Burkhard Fischer acquired the newspaper, which had been printed in its own building on the village square since 1891 and remained in the property of the Fischer family for four generations.
In addition to local and regional events, the newspaper always took up national and foreign topics. The extensive reporting on Germany during the Second World War was never negative under the then editor-in-chief Oskar Beer, but emphasized neutrally, which resulted in a sharp decline in readership. On the other hand, the weekly supplement “Feierabend”, which has been published since 1893, was popular, whose “moral and religious stories”, according to the publisher's intention, were addressed to “the housewife with her adult daughters”.
In 1959 the newspaper was renamed Bernische Tages-Nachrichten and was later only called Tages-Nachrichten . In 1977 it merged with the Berner Zeitung from Langnau to form the Berner Nachrichten , and in 1979 it merged with the Berner Tagblatt to form the Berner Zeitung , which is still published today .
The archive of the Emmentaler Nachrichten is kept in the Museum Münsingen .
