Südaustralische Zeitung

The Südaustralische Zeitung (Suedaustralische Zeitung) was a German language Australian newspaper initially published in late 1849[1] in Roman type ‘as if to indicate its rejection of tradition,’ and was radical in its political views.[2] In September 1850, it was owned by Otto Schomburgk and Carl Mücke, and by Gustav Dröge, who also acted as editor.[2] This newspaper was sold to an Adelaide newspaper proprieter, Reimer, in 1851.[1] In 1863, when it was owned by a Mr. Eggers and published at the offices of the South Australian Register, it absorbed a rival German-language paper published in Tanunda and again fell under joint ownership.[3]

The long history of German language Australian newspapers reflects the considerable German-speaking population which settled in South Australia in the nineteenth century.
