The Wage - magazine for the discussion of the affairs of the people was a newspaper in the time of the March Revolution in the Principality of Lippe , whose first editors were Karl Vette , Carl Volckhausen and Gustav Adolf Wolff . The newspaper was printed and published by the FL Wagener printing company from Lemgo .
Die Wage observed the first attempts at democracy critically and criticized the inadequacies of the electoral practice. The paper competed with the Vaterländischen Blätter , founded in 1835 , which remained essentially bourgeois-liberal and on the side of a constitutional monarchy.
Karl Vette had co-founded a "Volksverein" in Detmold in May 1848. The Lemgo publisher Gustav Adolf Wolff left the editorial team at the beginning of July 1848. He was replaced on July 15, 1848 by the Detmold lawyer Otto Dresel . Carl Volckhausen was a teacher at the Detmold grammar school and also a member of the Volksverein. Under pressure from the school authorities, Volckhausen had to leave the editorial team in August 1848. Later (1867) he became editor-in-chief of the Frankfurter Zeitung . From September 20, the Lemgoer Friedrich Leizmann joined as an editor. In September 1849 Otto Dresel resigned in the face of a threatened, politically motivated prison sentence and emigrated to the USA.
Up until the very end, the Wage was closely interwoven with the democratic people's associations, which the paper frequently reported on. The magazine was banned on September 7, 1852.
The Wage appeared twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
