The day (1948–1963)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The day was a daily newspaper founded in what was then the British Sector of Berlin with the help of Emil Dovifat and first appeared on Tuesday, March 23, 1948.

The first editor-in-chief from 1948 to 1957 was Wilhelm Gries . He had previously been editor-in-chief of the CDU newspaper Neue Zeit and was deposed by the Soviet military administration in Germany (SMAD) on December 20, 1947. Last but not least, those journalists who had left the Neue Zeit out of solidarity with its editor-in-chief Gries, such as the deputy editor-in-chief Karl Brammer and the business editor Hans Sonnenschein (1887–1957) and the editor Harald E. Roos (1899–1961), worked in the editorial team. .

The editor-in-chief Walter Klein-Reckard (1890-1984) , who had been working there since 1946, was appointed by the Eastern CDU to succeed Wilhelm Gries in the position of editor-in-chief of the Neue Zeit . From 1950 to 1952 he was director of the archive of Der Tag in Berlin (West). The journalist Alfred Gerigk , who was involved in the development of the Neue Zeit , also worked for the British-licensed newspaper Der Tag from 1949 . License holders were the CDU chairman Jakob Kaiser, who had been deposed from SMAD, and other former main board members of the CDU leadership in the SBZ : Johann Baptist Gradl , Elfriede Nebgen , Robert Tillmanns and Walther Schreiber . The paper underlined the all-German reference with the specially chosen subtitle, the Independent Newspaper for Germany , for whose first edition Kaiser wrote the leading article New Beginning . The day was close to the east office of the CDU and was discontinued in 1966. In 1967 two special issues appeared.
