In 1894 Heinrich Kanner , Isidor Singer and Hermann Bahr (replaced by Max Burckhard as editors in 1899 ) founded a weekly newspaper entitled Die Zeit , which ran from October 6, 1894 to October 29, 1904. It dealt primarily with cultural topics, but also understood itself politically, as in the leading article in issue 7 of November 1894. Here the author quotes from a book by Count Joseph-Niklas zu Windisch-Graetz that was published 100 years earlier :

“The freedom of the press is [...] a means to instruct the legislature and the truth in its genuine form, despite the efforts of the hypocrites who seek to remove it from the throne, to open access to it: because it is a means of bringing things to the knowledge not only of the supreme authority, but also of all well-meaning citizens, which one might otherwise never know. "

In 1904 the magazine was discontinued. The Österreichische Rundschau (1904–1924) is considered a continuation, but it is unclear whether there were personal and structural connections. It could also be just a recommendation of which magazine subscribers should order instead.

The time. Daily newspaper (1902–1919)

In parallel to the weekly newspaper, Die Zeit was published as a morning and evening paper , and thus in the form of a daily newspaper. It was produced in our own publishing house and printing house. The daily was published from September 27, 1902 to August 31, 1919. Prominent employees of the periodical included Bertha von Suttner , Felix Salten , Theodor Herzl , Hugo von Hofmannsthal , Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk and Anton Wildgans .

After the first editorial office was behind the Votive Church in Vienna , a dispatch office based on designs by Otto Wagner was built in 1902 on the corner of Kärntner Strasse and Annagasse . A reconstruction of the facade is in the Wien Museum .

On December 18, 1917, the evening paper reported to the daily newspaper that Singer and Kanner had resigned from their role as publishers and that the daily newspaper had been taken over by new shareholders. The previous editor-in-chief Edmund Wengraf became the new editor-in-chief .
