Südschleswigsche local newspaper

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Südschleswigsche Heimatzeitung was a daily newspaper that was published from September 25, 1948 to 1974 in Husum . The press organ of the South Schleswig voters' association , which was founded in the same year, clearly positioned itself on the side of the Danish minority in the southern part of Schleswig . Nevertheless, the newspaper appeared in German . The SSW founding chairman Svend Johannsen was one of the three licensees appointed by the British occupiers . After the number of readers continued to decline, the Südschleswigsche Heimatzeitung was discontinued in 1974. The paper was then published as a supplement to the Flensborg Avis .

The Südschleswigsche Heimatzeitung was in competition with the Danish Flensborg Avis and the German, conservatively oriented Flensburger Tageblatt .
