history

Fögl d'Engiadina

The Fögl d'Engiadina ("Engadiner Blatt") was founded at the end of 1857 by the three pastors N. Kirchen, G. Tremèr and G. Menni. They had bought the Schuls printing works and relocated it to the old capital of the Upper Engadin, Zuoz , to print the New Testament in Puter. As a measure against the threat of Germanization, they decided to also publish a newspaper. It first appeared on January 1, 1858, and the first 16 numbers were still called Fœgl d'Engiadina . At first it was a weekly newspaper, from 1916 it appeared twice a week. It contained an unusually large number of advertisements, most of them in German, which gave rise to criticism from readers.

From 1858 to 1864 P. Caprez ran the printing company. In 1865 it was taken over by Samuel Fissler and moved to Samedan. In 1875 he sold it to the German Johann Vaterlaus, who published the newspaper until 1877. In 1878 it was taken over by his colleague Simon Tanner and in 1901 he founded Engadin Press & Cie. AG as the publishing company.

The editors were temporarily in office at the beginning: M. Barblan, Otto P. Juvalta, Florian Grand, Ludwig Mischol, National Councilor Rudolf de Planta , Pastor JR à Porta, Johann Vaterlaus, AR de Planta together with his brother Landammann Florian de Planta, Thomas Fanconi, Giorgio Klainguti, P. Boner and Simon Tanner. This was followed by Gian Fadri Caderas (1880–1891) and Otto Töndury for a long time, followed by teacher Danz, pastor Otto Gaudenz, Enrico Tung and Andreas Vital. Only pastor JP Guidon took over the editorial office as a permanent position. From 1936 until the merger with Gazetta Ladina , Robert Ganzoni was the editor in charge, who then also managed the Fögl Ladin .

Gazetta Ladina

For 40 years the Fögl d'Engiadina was the only Romance weekly newspaper in the Engadin, then its editor Hans Konrad Sonderegger founded the Gazetta Ladina (“Ladinische Zeitung”) together with Men Rauch in 1921 to give more weight to the Lower Engadine and the local idiom Vallader . The first edition appeared on September 13, 1922, as editor and editor was Men Rauch. The newspaper was printed first in Chur , then in Thusis . Except in the summer months, the Gazetta Ladina published the literary supplement Il Tramagliunz (“The Spielmann”) every 14 days .

The Gazetta Ladina followed the principle of Rumantsch da la Prüma fin l'ultima lingia ("Romansh from the first to the last line"), so, unlike in the Fögl d'Engiadina , the advertisements were also set in Romansh. The latter then pushed back the German-language advertisements.

Fögl Ladin

At the end of 1940, Fögl d'Engiadina and Gazetta Ladina were merged to form Fögl Ladin , the first edition appeared on January 2, 1941. The editors of the merged newspaper were Robert Ganzoni , who came from Fögl d'Engiadina, and Robert Ganzoni, who came from Gazetta Ladina and up Men Rauch was responsible for the Lower Engadine on his death in 1958. In 1945 Domenica Messmer took over from Ganzoni. Her successor was Jon Manatschal from 1979 to 1986. Then in 1987 Toni Kaiser was briefly editor-in-chief and lastly Enrico Kopatz from 1987 to 1996.

In 1970 the Fögl Ladin took over Il Giuven Jauer (“The young Münstertaler”), founded by Tista Murk in 1938 . With the incorporation of the Engadiner Post , the Fögl Ladin became briefly bilingual after 1987.

In 1996 Somedia founded the Romance daily newspaper La Quotidiana , into which the Fögl Ladin as well as the Gasetta Romontscha and the Casa Paterna / La Pùnt were integrated. The editor-in-chief of the Gasetta Romontscha , Martin Cabalzar , became the editor-in-chief .
