The Temesvarer Zeitung was a German-language newspaper in Timisoara (now Timișoara ). It was launched on January 15, 1852 as the official gazette of the Voivodeship of Serbia and Temeser Banat and was the only daily newspaper published in the city until 1868 .

Until the dissolution and reintegration of the crown land into the Kingdom of Hungary in 1860, the official gazette first supported the policy of the Viennese government, then later the Hungarian equalization policy of Ferenc Deák's party . From 1940 to 1944 the Temesvarer newspaper was banned because of its humanitarian views on opponents and persecutees of the Nazi regime . In the People's Republic of Romania , its publication was discontinued on April 24, 1949 as part of the centralization of the press .

history

After the revolution of 1848/49 in the Austrian Empire , the Temesvarer Zeitung was launched by the Viennese government as the official gazette of the Crown Land of the Voivodeship of Serbia and the Temeser Banat. The first head of the paper was the kuk state government designer Andreas Flatt . He was followed by the official A. J. Mayer (beginning of 1857) and the governor Carl Hirschfeld (autumn 1857 to spring 1858). Karl Junck was responsible for the newspaper until the end of March 1861 .

After the collapse of neo-absolutism and the elimination of the Lieutenancy, the paper lost its official character. Since April 1861, Carl Hirschfeld was the owner, publisher and editor of the Temesvarer newspaper. At the end of 1864, Hirschfeld sold the sheet to Martin Uhrmann . In 1866 he resigned from the editorial office. He was followed by the lawyer Michael Niamessny , who was also chairman of the Deák party . After the Austro-Hungarian settlement , the paper supported the settlement policy of Ferenc Deáks party. She promoted the Hungarian idea of ​​the state as a propaganda agent, for example she campaigned for the Magyarization in schools and authorities or gave preference to Hungarian writers in the literary section. In 1912 the Temesvarer Zeitung merged with the Neue Temesvarer Zeitung . After his election as editor-in-chief, the former theater critic Anton Lovas fundamentally modernized the paper.

With the peace treaty of Trianon after the First World War , the Banat was divided into three parts, with the greater part being attached to Romania with Timisoara. In the following interwar period, the Temesvar newspaper's cultural work reached its peak. After Adolf Hitler came to power , the Temesvarer Zeitung stood up “in the spirit of preserving humanity for opponents and persecuted persons of the Third Reich ”, which in 1940 led to its ban. After the royal coup in Romania in 1944 , the newspaper was able to resume operations. In 1949 the paper was finally discontinued by the centralized regulations of the communist regime .
