The evening (Austria)

The evening was an Austrian daily newspaper .

The evening was founded in 1915 during the First World War in Vienna as a counterpart to “ Der Morgen ”. The tone became increasingly polemical and aggressive after 1918 and reflected the ideas of social democracy and communism . Numerous articles pursued investigative journalism and are from this point of view (economically) historically interesting to this day, an example is the article on the crisis of the Central Bank of the German Savings Banks on June 30, 1926 and subsequently the series of articles on the postal savings bank scandal in autumn 1926. Also the crisis of the Bodencreditanstalt that broke out in October 1929 was discussed early in the "evening".

The evening was set on February 16, 1934, immediately after the end of the February uprising . The successor is the KP newspaper Telegraph (1948–1957)
