Dornbirner Gemeindeblatt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dornbirner Gemeindeblatt, issue 1, January 1888, 19th year

The Dornbirner Gemeindeblatt is the municipality sheet for the city of Dornbirn / Office of the City of Dornbirn and has been published since Sunday, January 2nd, 1870. It is the first municipality sheet that was published in Vorarlberg, and to this day the highest circulation.

Naming

The Dornbirner Gemeindeblatt has had this name since it was first published in 1870. As a subtitle it originally had the designation: Organ for all communal announcements (today: Official and Advertising Gazette), but has always been a newsletter for communal life in Dornbirn and companies placed advertisements in it.

history

The Feldkircher Anzeiger was published in Vorarlberg in the city of Feldkirch as early as 1866 , a private "independent weekly newspaper with the official announcements", which from 1870 to 1938 bore the addition "Feldkircher Wochenblatt", and in some cases also the addition "independent weekly newspaper with the official announcements Stadt Feldkirch ”. It was therefore a (weekly) newspaper with official announcements, while in Dornbirn a different route was taken. In the then market town of Dornbirn, official news was announced by a crier , the Usschaellar , from the stairs of the Red House after the Sunday service until the publication of the Dornbirner Gemeindeblatt (then Gasthof Engel).

A dispute between the office of the city of Dornbirn or the liberal forces in Dornbirn around Mayor Johann Georg Waibel and the pastor of the parish church Dornbirn-St. Martin because of the place of public proclamation, which was relocated from the Red House in October 1869 to the former cemetery by the church, directly preceded the foundation of the parish gazette. In 1854 the pastor erected a mission cross on this place without the parish's approval. The pastor was of the opinion that the relocation of the crier's square would now violate the rights of the church, although the square itself also belonged to the community. Subsequently, the first public proclamation on October 31, 1869 by the community clerk at that time, Feuerstein, was disturbed by 50 to 60 women praying the rosary out loud , so that this proclamation was made impossible. With a view to the next public proclamation and because of possible disruptions, the community published attacks warning that the reading would be disrupted and threatening penalties. Nevertheless, this reading was again disrupted by 40 to 50 women praying loudly after the specially built stage for the crier had been destroyed by strangers. The municipal council then moved the proclamation back to the old square near the Red House and decided on November 10, 1869 to publish a written local gazette from New Year 1870, which would replace the function of the crier and which should be published by the city of Dornbirn.

On January 2, 1870, the first edition of the Dornbirner Gemeindeblatt , the organ for all communal announcements , appeared in a print run of 470 copies (today around 8,000 to 9,000 copies). The previous crier became editor of the municipal newspaper . During the time of the National Socialist dictatorship from 1939 to 1945 the community newspaper did not appear. In the 19th century, the municipal newspaper had an average of 18 pages, today around 70 to 80 pages.

The community bulletin has been printed by the brothers Franz Anton and Daniel Feurstein since 1870, then by the Höfle printing company and, since 1987, by the Vorarlberg publishing house.
