Volksblatt (ÖVP)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Volksblatt was an Austria-wide daily newspaper and party organ of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) .

The newspaper was the large-format successor to the Kleiner Volksblatt . This appeared for the first time on January 27, 1929 with the Christian Social Party as publisher and formed a counterpart to the SPÖ's Kleiner Blatt .

After the Anschluss in 1938, it was brought into line with the Nazi newspapers and incorporated into the Kleine Wiener Kriegszeitung on August 31, 1944 .

It was re-established on August 5, 1945 and served as the central organ of the ÖVP until July 1947. From October 2, 1962, it appeared in large format under the name of Volksblatt .

In the course of the general decline of the party newspapers, the Volksblatt lost a large number of readers, so that it had to be discontinued on November 15, 1970.

The editions were 120,000 in 1935, 125,000 in 1958 and only 50,000 in 1970.
