The Salzburger Volksblatt was a daily newspaper for the state of Salzburg . Founded in 1870, it appeared regularly from 1871 to 1942, when it was merged with the Salzburger Zeitung and the Salzburger Landeszeitung , and again from June 15, 1950 to April 14, 1979 after the Second World War .

Their political orientation in the First Republic was German national . It was close to the Greater German People's Party , but turned to the Austrian NSDAP from 1931/32 .

In the post-war period, her political orientation was right of center with sympathy for the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) . The long-standing editor-in-chief at that time was Hans Menzel. In numerous articles he campaigned for the release of war criminal Walter Reder , who was incarcerated in Italy and sentenced to life imprisonment . The Salzburger Volksblatt was printed by the Rudolf Kiesel publishing house .

Later attempts were made to revive the paper as a regional party newspaper of the FPÖ for the state of Salzburg. It came out twice a week and could only survive with the help of public funding. In 1987 the Volksblatt received around 651,000 schillings (around 47,000 euros) from the state of Salzburg.

In 1991, in the phase of the decline of the Austrian party newspapers, the paper was discontinued.
