From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- The correct title of this article is junge Welt. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
junge Welt ("Young World") is a Marxist German daily newspaper published in Berlin. It was first published on 12 February 1947 in the Soviet Sector of Berlin. Junge Welt (as it was capitalized then) became the official newspaper of the Central Council (Zentralrat) of the Free German Youth on 12 November 1947. With a daily circulation of 1.4 million, Junge Welt had the largest circulation of any daily newspaper in the German Democratic Republic, even higher than the official Communist party organ Neues Deutschland. It was relaunched in 1994, after German reunification and the effective dissolution of the FDJ, as Germany's leftmost daily newspaper. Today, it is the smallest nationwide daily newspaper in Germany with a claimed readership of approximately 50,000, although the print run has been estimated at under 20,000.
