The Giddings Deutsches Volksblatt was a trilingual German-American newspaper published in Giddings, Texas. Most of the content was in German, while many stories were in English and some short supplements were in Wendish ( Sorbian), the language of Wendish settlers in that area of Texas, especially in nearby Serbin. In early years of publication, the newspaper included a Sorbian supplement. The Deutsches Volksblatt was designed to serve the German Texan community and especially the Wends scattered throughout Texas. [1]
J. A. Proske and W. C. Vogel founded the newspaper in 1899. A sample issue was published on September 12 of that year, while the first full issue was published on October 1 of that year. The owners of the newspaper discontinued it in 1949 and transferred the subscriptions to their English-language newspaper, the Giddings Star. [1]
