Revalsche Zeitung
The Revalsche Zeitung was one of the most important German-language newspapers in Estonia from 1860 to 1940 .
meaning
The Revalsche Zeitung was founded in 1860 by Wilhelm Greiffenhagen and Friedrich Nikolai Russow . In its first years, the newspaper was "straightforwardly pro-Estonian [...] and [had] no good word for the German landowners.", But soon lost its reputation as an organ advocating the interests of the Estonians and became one important publication of the Baltic German minority in Estonia.
For most of its existence the paper appeared six times a week. The editorial office was based in the Estonian capital Tallinn ( Reval ). The readership of the Revalsche Zeitung and its political influence went far beyond the Baltic Germans in Estonia.
other names
From November 1, 1919 to June 30, 1930, the newspaper appeared under the name Revaler Bote . From 1930 to 1934 it was called Revalsche Zeitung again , before it was run as the Estonian newspaper from August 27, 1934 to March 30, 1935 because of the ban on German place names .
closure
From 1936 until it was closed, it was called the Revalsche Zeitung again .
On May 31, 1940, the last edition of the Revalsche Zeitung appeared . The reason was the almost complete resettlement of the Baltic Germans from Estonia, ordered by Hitler in 1939 . With the resettlement, the 700-year history of Germanness in the Baltic states and the need for a German-language press ended.
The Revaler Zeitung was a German civil newspaper published from 1942 to 1944 for the areas of the Baltic Sea area occupied by the Wehrmacht .
