History

The daily Dolomites is the first German -language daily newspaper in Italy. The sheet can look back on a very eventful history of development, which was marked in its early days of the annexation of South Tyrol to Italy in 1918 /20, the Italienisierungspolitik the fascists in the interwar period and the German occupation of South Tyrol from 1943 to 1945.

The newspaper was founded in 1882 under the name " The Tyrolean ". Editor in chief from 1918 to 1922 was Dr. Anton Klotz, who (on behalf of the French occupiers ) later to become the founder and from 1945 to 1961 and editor of the Tiroler Tageszeitung in Innsbruck. After the ban by the fascist government of Italy to use the name of Tyrol in each composition or modification of the leaf title had to be changed. " - The German daily paper south of the Brenner The countryman" So was replaced with August 22, 1923, the name " The Tyrolean " by. Dr. Klotz had already been referenced in 1922 of the country. Owner of the newspaper was the publishing house Tyrolia GmbH, which had to change for the same reasons his company name in " publishing house Walther von der Vogelweide ". The subsequent banning of the fascist government to use German names, led to the recent change its name, this time in Casa Editrice Athesiadruck Sarl ( Athesia publishing house GmbH), based on the Latin name of the river Adige.

As the entire rest of the German -language press - - With output of 26 October 1925, the newspaper " The farmer " was shut down because of their anti-fascist activity. After more than a year of interruption, the newspaper has its editorial work - with a series of constraints and limitations - finally resume. The paper now appeared, from 24 December 1926 three times a week, in continuation of the same name existing since September 4, 1923 periodical Dolomites, until then expanded its title with a time pictures & Sports Illustrated and Family Group Sheet and its issued before 24 December had been interrupted in 1926 nine weeks. [note 1] After the fall of Fascism and the Second World War, yet the subtitle " daily paper of the South Tyrolean " has been added.

But before this could happen, the newspaper was closed in September 1943 by the Nazi authorities. The editorial offices and the publishing house were seized and " commissioned " to a National Socialist Society, which published its own newspaper, the " Bolzano's day sheet ". Respected editors, whose flight had failed, were arrested.

Mid- March 1945, the military government granted the Allies the legitimate representatives of Casa Editrice Athesiadruck the license for the publication of the newspaper. On May 19, 1945 its activities took the " Dolomites " back on and put them uninterruptedly since then.

The newspaper has in South Tyrol, a quasi - monopoly and is therefore the South Tyrolean determining public, opinion -building instrument. This exceptional position brings the medium due to its particular emphasis on the South Tyrolean People's Party and the Diocese of Bolzano-Bressanone - at the same time co-owner of the publishing house Athesiadruck - oriented and dissenting opinions sometimes exclusionary line frequently a criticism. Competitors of the sheet are the left-liberal New South Tyrolean newspaper, but may have only a small market share, the Italian -language daily newspaper Alto Adige ( newspaper ) and the weekly magazine ff
