Vorwärts ('Forward') was a German-language socialist daily newspaper published from Czernowitz/ Cernăuți, Bukovina (in Austria-Hungary, later in Romania; present-day Chernivtsi, Ukraine). [1] [2] [3] The newspaper was founded in 1899 with the name Volkspresse ('People's Press'). [4] [5] During its initial phase, Volkspresse was published twice-monthly. [4] Volkspresse was an organ of the Social Democratic Workers Party of Austria and the trade union movement. [6] The newspaper was largely representative of the Jewish labour movement of the town. [7]
In 1905 it was converted into a weekly newspaper. [4] Publishers of the newspaper included Jakob Pistiner, Rudolf Gaidosch and Johann Dumpert. [8]
The newspaper was renamed Vorwärts in 1912. [4] The newspaper carried the by-line 'Organ of the International Social Democratic Provincial Organization of Bukovina'. [8] It continued publication until 1914, hereby there was an interruption for a few years. Publication was resumed in 1918. From June 29, 1918 until December 19, 1934 Vorwärts was published daily. It then returned to weekly publication. [4] Vorwärts played an important role in re-activating the workers movement in the town after the war. [9]
Vorwärts focused largely on international issues, leaving little space for local German concerns. [10] The Bundist Dr. Jakob Pistiner served as the editor of the newspaper. [6] Other editors of the newspaper included Albert Silbermann and Salo Hellenberg. [8]
As of the late 1920s, the offices of Vorwärts were located on Strada General Mirescu, 4. [11] Vorwärts was closed down in 1937. [12] The last issue was published on December 19, 1937. [4]
