Luxemburger Zeitung

From 1913 to 1940 he wrote the Abreißkalender, an (almost) daily column commenting on social, cultural, economic, artistic and political realities in Luxembourg.

The latter then experienced financial difficulties and was acquired in 1922 by a group around Emile Mayrisch, the managing director of ARBED.

Batty Weber subsequently withdrew from the political aspect of the newspaper, and Jean-Pierre Robert became the new editor-in-chief.

The editor-in-chief Robert was the right choice for this; the Luxemburger Zeitung was the only Luxembourg newspaper that was not banned in Germany once Hitler came to power.

After the German invasion of Luxembourg in 1940, Robert continued to edit the Luxemburger Zeitung, making it follow a completely pro-Nazi line.
