The Schwäbische Tagwacht was a regional daily newspaper of the SPD , which appeared in Stuttgart from 1890 to 1933 until it was banned by the National Socialists .

The Schwäbische Tagwacht had various previous titles that appeared two or three times a week and served as the organ of the Stuttgart Social Democrats: the Süddeutsche Volks-Zeitung (1873–1878), the Stuttgarter Presse (October 24, 1878 to January 30, 1879), Das Vaterland (February 1879) and finally the Schwäbisches Wochenblatt (April 1, 1882 to August 30, 1890).

One month before the Socialist Act , which banned organized social democracy in Germany, expired , Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Dietz published the first edition of the daily Schwäbische Tagwacht on September 1, 1890 , by continuing the count of the previous titles in the 10th year . According to its later subtitle Organ der Sozialdemokrats Württembergs , the newspaper advanced to become the most important source of information for the Württemberg social democrats. The headlines of the Tagwacht were the Neckarpost in Ludwigsburg , the Volkszeitung in Esslingen , the Freie Volkszeitung in Göppingen , the Schwarzwälder Volkswacht in Schramberg and the Freie Presse in Reutlingen ; famous Tagwacht editors were Jakob Stern , Wilhelm Keil , Franz Feuerstein , Fritz Ulrich , Arthur Crispien , Friedrich Westmeyer and Kurt Schumacher . From 1914 to 1920, Der Sozialdemokrat appeared as an organ of the USPD in competition with Tagwacht . On March 10, 1933, the Swabian Tagwacht was banned by the new National Socialist rulers under Reich Commissioner Dietrich von Jagow .
