Franconian daily mail
The Fränkische Tagespost was a social democratic Nuremberg daily that appeared from 1875 to 1933 and from 1948 to 1971. Alongside the Offenbacher Abendblatt, it was the only social democratic newspaper that appeared during the years of the Socialist Law .
Founded in 1875 by Gabriel Löwenstein , a leading member of the Franconian labor movement, as a counterbalance to the bourgeois press under the name of Nürnberg-Fürth Social Democrat , it was renamed the Franconian Daily Post in 1878 and developed into an important social democratic party journal. The editors or editors-in-chief were August Meier , Karl Grillenberger , Kurt Eisner , Adolf Braun and Philipp Scheidemann . The writer Karl Bröger published theater reviews and from the end of 1924 the political-satirical weekly column “Stachelhecke”; Philipp Rupprecht , who later became the main draftsman of the anti-Semitic propaganda magazine Der Stürmer , drew caricatures. The philosopher Georg Klaus was responsible for the chess corner . Philipp Pless was the parliamentary rapporteur . Editors were, for example, Bruno Schoenlank , Albert Südekum , Philipp Scheidemann, Emil Fischer , Hans Emil Hirschfeld or Kurt Karl Doberer , who allegedly only joined the SPD in order to have his sequel novel Pioneers published in the Franconian Post.
In 1930 the Franconian publishing house moved into its new publishing house in the Nürnberger Ziegelgasse behind the train station, today Karl-Bröger-Straße, the first high-rise building in Nuremberg , built by the Nuremberg architects Hans Müller and Karl Kröck . The building also housed the publishing house, editorial office and printer of the Franconian Daily Mail, as well as the SPD party headquarters.
After the fire in the Reichstag on February 27, 1933, an “emergency ordinance” restricted a number of basic rights . In addition to the ban on meetings and demonstrations of the SPD and KPD, the arrest of a number of left-wing politicians and the leave of absence or removal from office of leading government officials, this also included the ban on a large number of newspapers, including the Franconian Daily Post.
On March 10, 1933, the SA, with the participation of other NSDAP members, stormed the publishing house and destroyed the printing works after the police headquarters, town hall and other public buildings in Nuremberg had been occupied the day before.
After the Second World War, an SPD newsletter was published instead of the daily mail . From November 1948 the daily mail appeared again, but initially not as a daily newspaper. From 1953 the Franconian Daily Mail appeared again on working days. The number of issues per week was later reduced again due to the declining circulation, and in 1971 the newspaper was finally discontinued.
The Fränkische Tagespost had ancillary editions such as the Erlanger Volksblatt .
