German-Austrian daily newspaper
The Deutschösterreichische Tages-Zeitung , or DÖTZ for short, was a daily newspaper that appeared in Vienna from 1921 to 1933 . It stood at the end of a series of strongly national, anti-Semitic newspapers and is considered the successor to the “Ostdeutsche Rundschau” founded by Karl Hermann Wolf in 1890, which was called “Deutsches Tageblatt” from 1908 and then carried its original name again. From 1920 the paper appeared as the "Wiener Deutsche Tageszeitung" and from August 8, 1920 to March 31, 1921 under the title "Deutsche Tageszeitung". On April 1, 1921, it was finally renamed "Deutschösterreichische Tages-Zeitung". The publisher was a consortium of the Pan-German Association under the leadership of Georg von Schönerer and Heinrich Claß
In the first years of its existence it carried the slogan "Alldeutschland die Hoffnung, Greater Germany the goal", referring to Schönerer, and referred to the efforts of the German-Austrians to join the republican German Empire after the end of the First World War. Towards the end of its existence, the DÖTZ was also to be regarded as the newspaper organ of the German-Austrian National Socialists .
The cultural section, in which Mirko Jelusich worked as a feature editor from 1923 to 1933, was partly shaped by later prominent authors, such as the young Heimito von Doderer , the later youth author Gerhard Aichinger alias Gerhard Aick or the publicist Kurt Ziesel . The editorial policy was characterized by the then extremely strong nationalism (" Germanism "), combined with widespread pronounced racism and the centuries-old anti-Semitism of the Viennese. As early as October 1925, the paper demanded the creation of a "Jewish cadastre" for the Austrian armed forces and Josephine Baker's appearance in Vienna in 1928 was qualified as a "Negro scandal".
