The Oberrheinische Nachrichten , an indicator for Liechtenstein and the surrounding area , was a publication in the Principality of Liechtenstein that appeared regularly from 1914 to 1924 and was also distributed in the area surrounding the Principality, especially in neighboring Switzerland.
Publishing house, editorial office
The Liechtenstein lawyer Wilhelm Beck , who also headed the editorial department until 1919, is considered to be the founder of the newspaper . From issue no. 6 in 1919, the editorial team was temporarily transferred to Arnold Gassner from Triesenberg , after which Wilhelm Beck was again in charge of the editorial team until 1921. From 1921 Josef Vogt was the editor for a short time, and Gottlieb Gassner from 1921 to 1923. From 1923 until the paper was discontinued in 1924, Alphons Thöny was the responsible editor.
The Oberrheinische Nachrichten was self-published from 1914 to 1919 at roughly one-week intervals, from February 5, 1919 (No. 6, vol. 5) until it was discontinued on August 30, 1924 (No. 69, vol. 11) twice a week ( Wednesday and Saturday). The sheet was partially published with special supplements.
From September 3, 1924, the paper was renamed in Liechtensteiner Nachrichten, formerly Oberrheinische Nachrichten ( Liechtensteiner Nachrichten for short ), and the numbering of the publication and year of publication was retained. The first edition of the Liechtensteiner Nachrichten appeared with the number 70 and in the 11th year. Simultaneously with the renaming, the gazette became the official publication organ for Liechtenstein (see also: Liechtenstein Official Gazette and Liechtenstein National Law Gazette ).
Due to the merger from 1936, the daily newspaper Liechtensteiner Vaterland sees itself as the successor to the Liechtensteiner Nachrichten and thus the Oberrheinische Nachrichten. The Oberrheinische Nachrichten was published in German and was written in Fraktur until it was discontinued in 1924 . The newspaper was printed in Mels , Switzerland .
Political orientation
The Oberrheinische Nachrichten was politically closely based on democracy- related , Christian-social currents in Liechtenstein and became the political mouthpiece of this movement. The first party program of the Christian-Social People's Party of Liechtenstein was therefore published on January 18, 1919 in the Oberrheinische Nachrichten.
financing
The Oberrheinische Nachrichten financed itself primarily through subscriptions and the sale of advertisements. The advertisements made up about 1/5 to 1/2 of the volume in the total text of the sheet.
