The Tages-Post , otherwise known as the Tagespost , was an Austrian magazine that was first published on January 1, 1865. After being discontinued in January 1944, it appeared again from October 1953 to the end of 1954, when it was merged with the Oberösterreichische Nachrichten , founded in 1945 .

history

In 1864 the entrepreneur, print shop owner and publisher Josef Wimmer (1808–1894) decided to found a progressive daily newspaper that was to appear first in Linz and then throughout Upper Austria . At that time there were two daily newspapers in Linz, the Linzer Zeitung as the official sheet of the Lieutenancy in the Eurich publishing house and the private evening messenger of the Huemers Witwe & Danner printing company , the later conservative press association . While Wimmer's daily newspaper appeared in 1865 under the title Linzer Tages-Post , from the beginning of 1866 only the short term Tages-Post was used. As a backlash in the journalistic dispute, the Linz Bishop Franz Joseph Rudigier founded the Linzer Volksblatt four years later .

In 1908, the German national editor Richard Schubert (1866–1933), who had previously worked for the Prager Tagblatt and Bohemia in Prague , joined the Tages-Post as a political editor .

The Daily Mail was after the First World War, with 31,000 subscribers in 1919, the leading journal in Upper Austria .

After Austria was annexed to Germany in 1938, the freedom of the press was suspended. The Wimmer family's influence on the Tages-Post was completely prevented, the family only retained ownership of the paper, which was then continued as the Oberdonau-Zeitung - the official newspaper of the NSDAP . In 1945 the US armed forces founded the Oberösterreichische Nachrichten , which was produced in the editorial offices as well as in the printer of the old daily post . There was, however, no spiritual bridge to the former Tages-Post , which was always largely German-minded and whose new publication was not possible for economic and political reasons.

In 1953, the forced leasing of the Wimmer printing works was lifted. That was the comeback for the Linzer Tagespost and the descendants of Josef and Julius Wimmer. For two years, the Upper Austrian News , owned by Alfred Maleta, a member of the National Council, and the Tages-Post fought fierce competition. In 1955, Maleta and the shareholders of the Wimmer Group decided to combine the two newspapers. In this sense, the Oberösterreichische Nachrichten can also be described as the successor to the former Tages-Post .
