!!!Reichspost

Reichspost, daily newspaper in Vienna with a Christian-Socialist 
tendency, published from January 1, 1894 to September 30, 1938. 
Founded with the support of the progressive powers within Austrian 
Catholicism. The Reichspost not only took a political stance against 
liberalism and social democracy, but also against conservative 
Catholicism (whose daily newspaper "Das Vaterland" had to be 
discontinued in 1911). From 1933 the Reichspost supported the ideas of 
the corporate state. Its editor-in-chief F.  Funder (from 1902) was 
arrested in March 1938, the paper was discontinued on September 30, 
1938. Circulation 1901: 5000, 1914: 36,000, 1925: 50,000, 1938: 
35,000.
