Tageblatt is a German language daily newspaper published in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg by Editpress.

[8]: 9  In 1919, a new proportional representation system with party lists was introduced, with four constituencies (South, Centre, North, East).

[8]: 9 The founder of the newspaper was Paul Schroell (1879-1939), who came from a family of printers, book-sellers and editors from Echternach and Diekirch.

[8]: 9  In 1911 he had rejected the offer by Paul Schroell (also the editor of the Landwirt, published in Diekirch) to merge their printing companies.

[8]: 9  In creating the Escher Tageblatt, Paul Schroell then founded a competing company in the canton of Esch, home to the steel industry and the economic centre of the country.

[8]: 9  Clearly more combative than the venerable daily newspaper of Emile Schroell, the Escher Tageblatt had from the start a more polemical and feisty tone in political debates.

[8]: 9 The history of the Tageblatt consists of two stages, which are distinct in some ways, but show some continuity, embodied by the founder's plan to bring together the various components of the political and intellectual left wing of the country.

It was in 1927 that the independent trade unions and the Worker's Party bought the newspaper and printing works belonging to Paul Schroell for 1 million Luxembourgish francs, while renting the office spaces in Esch and with the obligation, imposed by the seller, to keep on the hitherto employed staff.
