The Prager Zeitung (PZ) is a German-language online newspaper that reports on events in the Czech Republic . It was published as a weekly newspaper in Prague from December 5, 1991 to December 22, 2016 and was sold in the Czech Republic, Germany and Austria .
history
After the political change in Czechoslovakia, the historian Uwe Müller (1955-2010) from Zwickau founded the Prager Zeitung in 1991 and took on the position of managing editor-in-chief. Müller previously worked for the Prague People's Newspaper . With the "PZ" he wanted to create a modern publication which, on the one hand, appealed to German-speaking business people and tourists pouring into the country, but on the other hand, followed the centuries-old German-speaking press tradition in Bohemia and Moravia. The PZ sees itself as the follow-up publication of the famous Prager Tagblatt , for which reporter legends such as Egon Erwin Kisch wrote. She had the title Prager Tagblatt , to which she had acquired all rights, as a middle name for a long time.
Until the state newspaper was founded in 1994, the Prager Zeitung contained a supplement for the German minority in the Czech Republic. In Prago-Media , the publisher of the Prague newspaper , appeared to December 2006, the German-speaking Carlsbad newspaper .
At the beginning of 2016, the Prager Zeitung had 16 pages and, according to its own information, a circulation of around 10,000 copies, of which around half were sold in the Czech Republic. Most of the rest was sent to Germany and Austria. At the end of 2015, the weekly newspaper had 15 employees.
The last edition of the printed Prager Zeitung appeared on December 22, 2016. Since then, editor-in-chief Marcus Hundt and long-time authors have continued as the website.
profile
The Prager Zeitung was the most widely read foreign language weekly newspaper in the Czech Republic.
Thematically, the PZ deals with politics , economy , culture and tourism - especially with the relations between the Czech Republic and its German-speaking neighboring countries. In May 2012 she was awarded the jury's honorary prize at the award ceremony for the first ever Dialog for Germany media prize. The PZ received the award because it was the first German-language newspaper in Eastern Europe to target tourists and business people in particular. It thus served as a role model for many newspapers that later started with a similar concept.
