The “Bregenzer Wochenblatt” was a Bregenz newspaper that was published between 1793 and 1863 under a frequently changing title.

history

The newspaper was founded by the Rapperswil-based printer Joseph Anton Bonifaz Brentano as a Bregenz weekly newspaper . After his death, the company became the property of Julius Hild. After his widow continued to run the newspaper on his own, Anton Flatz took over the paper, which disappeared in 1863 in favor of a national newspaper.

From 1797 to 1802 the newspaper appeared under the title Bregenzer Wochenblatt , from 1802 it was called Latest World Events , from 1809 Minerva or Latest World Events along with pleasant, non-profit- making conversations . In 1811 the name was changed to Bregenz Intelligence Gazette , and the following year it was changed to Intelligence Gazette of the Royal Bavarian District Court in Bregenz . In 1814, the title Bregenzisches Wochenblatt was taken up again, which was changed to Bregenz Weekly in 1838 .

Political orientation

At the time of the First Coalition War , the newspaper's political orientation was clearly counter-revolutionary and anti-French. When the French army occupied Bregenz in 1796, the newspaper had to be shut down for a month. The strict censorship rules in the pre-March brought the editorial section of the blade almost complete standstill. Official announcements and notifications of deaths, births or weddings formed the main content of the newspaper at that time.
