The New Social Democrat newspaper : Organ of the Socialist Workers' Party in Germany was a social democratic newspaper in the German Empire . It was published three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday), from July 2, 1871 to September 29, 1876.

After Johann Baptist von Schweitzer resigned from the party chairmanship as president of the General German Workers' Association (ADAV) and Wilhelm Hasenclever was elected as his successor, the two ADAV party newspapers - Der Social-Demokratie and Der Agitator , were ruled by Schweitzer until his resignation were - merged into a party organ, the New Social Democrat . The New Social Democrat was owned by the party. The editors-in-chief were under the direction of Hasenclever Carl Wilhelm Tölcke and Wilhelm Hasselmann . In contrast to Schweitzer's time, the editorial team had a certain amount of leeway. The paper also printed criticism of the first International and followed its crisis closely. The newspaper had about 11,000 subscribers by 1874. After the merger of ADAV and SDAP, the newspaper went on in 1876 in Vorwärts . At that time it had a circulation of 14,000 copies. The New Social Democrat and The People's State were replaced by Vorwärts . The Vorwärts appeared on October 1, 1876 in Leipzig as the central organ of the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany .
