The day was a product of the Scherlverlag and experienced its owner story. It was sold to the German Publishing Association in 1913 and to Alfred Hugenberg in 1916 . Hugenberg was chairman of the German National People's Party from 1928 to 1933 , which is why Frances Clare Foster's Day in The Press of the Weimar Republic and its Reputation in German Literature as a party organ of the DNVP from 1931 is titled.
