In the 19th and first half of the 20th century, there was a widespread and substantial German-language press in many parts of Eastern Europe. Newspapers and magazines were often published in pluricultural regions. Multilingualism was not only part of everyday life, its nature was also a matter of interest to the press. This issue brings together contributions that explore the phenomenon of multilingualism in the German-language press with different spatial focuses: from the Vormärz to the eve of the Second World War. This is examined from a variety of perspectives including linguistics and literary studies, as well as history and cultural studies. The use of different languages in journalism and advertising will be examined, as well as the methods and the goals of different language practices; such as those between coexistence and competition, and between the mediation and demarcation of different nationalities and identities.
