Bohemia (newspaper)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bohemia is the title of newspapers in Prague. From 1828 to 1938, a newspaper in German appeared under this title. From 2000, a German-Czech newspaper (Czech: Česko-Německé noviny Bohemia) took the name, continuing the Deutsch-Tschechische Zeitung für gute Nachbarschaft (German-Czech newspaper of good neighbourhood).
