Tempo. Berliner Abend-Zeitung was a daily newspaper from Ullstein Verlag that appeared from 1928 to 1933. Its distribution area was Berlin and the surrounding area.
history
The first edition of Tempo appeared on September 11, 1928 , which at the time, according to the Ullstein publishing house's advertisement, was supposed to represent “Germany's most modern newspaper type”. However, the newspaper became an economic and conceptual failure and always remained below 150,000 copies. On August 5, 1933, Tempo was the first sheet of the Ullstein publishing house to be discontinued.
concept
In the Ullstein house, Tempo was conceived as a newspaper for readers of the younger post-war generation in order to offer them a new, fresh paper that, in tone and presentation, as well as in topicality and speed, reflects the lifestyle of the Weimar Republic and Berlin 1920s should meet. The political orientation of the newspaper was liberal-democratic , like all Ullstein products.
The newspaper
Tempo appeared in the Berlin format on pinkish-brownish paper and was an evening newspaper based on the American model. Three different editions appeared daily between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The most important rubrics were the political part, "Stock market and economy" and "Tempo in sport". This was followed by the culture section, divided into “The World of Thoughts and Adventure”, a page with serial novels , popular science reports, as well as photos from all over the world and the section “Under the Lights of Berlin” with regular columns, theater and cinema reviews, puzzles and fashion tips . The last page has the latest news.
