German culture: German Language Newspapers German Language News

"Spitzenzeitungen" with an international influence:German culture: Wuppertal Schwebebahn / Map of Switzerland
  • Die Welt   Probably the largest circulation non-tabloid German daily newspaper; general news for everyone.
  • Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung a venerable paper with international esteem,  has no free internet version but does provide an English language version on the web.
  • Die Presse from Vienna is one of the large middle of the road Austrian dailies.
  • Neue Züricher Zeitung   On line edition of the main Swiss newspaper, a selection from the print edition; includes an  "English Window" summary of stories

"Seriöse Zeitungen" whose influence extends beyond their local area:

  • Rheinischer Merkur  Intellectual weekly, Catholic orientation
  • TAZ die tageszeitung Left wing/alternative daily, headquartered in Berlin
  • Tagesspiegel Middle-of-the-road Berlin daily newspaper
  • Die Zeit Weekly magazine in newspaper format, intellectually inclined
  • Frankfurter Rundschau   General German daily newspaper; also has an English language edition with switchable English/German versions of articles
  • Rheinische Post    From the Ruhr and lower Rhein comes this general daily newspaper; what sets it off from many other such German language newspapers is that it contains a very extensive selection of German and international news in English which is updated Tuesday and Friday evenings at about 10 p.m. (MEZ) / 5p.m. (EST). The English version includes articles from all the intervening days since the last update.
  • Süddeutsche Zeitung   Major establishment left-center newspaper from Munich. This link brings you to a "beschleunigte Seite" with a summary of the news. Click on "Druckausgabe" on the right of that page for access to the main newspaper.
  • Stern Not exactly a weekly news magazine -  perhaps a weekly news magazine for a broader audience than a US news magazine has. No exact US parallel, a combination of Time and People and Entertainment Today.
  • Spiegel   One of the two large circulation weekly news magazines, intellectual and negative bent
  • FOCUS The other weekly news magazine, more business and money oriented than Spiegel
  • Profil is the weekly news magazine from Austria
  • Facts, the Swiss weekly news magazine.
  • The Wiener-Zeitung is neither a commercial nor an independent newspaper but the official organ of the Austrian state; the original function was somewhat similar to that of the US Federal Register but the format and range has been expanded; at first glance it's slick appearance leads one to believe it is a "normal" newspaper. Particularly helpful for finding current theater, concerts, and other cultural events.
  • Wirtschaftsblatt for Austrian economic and business news; detailed stock and bond market coverage.
