Die Woche ([dɪ ˈvɔxə], 'The Week') was an illustrated weekly newspaper published in Berlin from 1899 to 1944.

Overview[edit]

It reported on popular entertainment, including "sensationalist crime stories", and covered celebrities in sports and show business.^[1] Its publisher was newspaper magnate August Scherl,^[2] who also owned the Berliner Lokal-Anzeiger, a Berlin paper.^[3]

By 1916 Scherl had been bought out by the (politically conservative) Hugenberg Press, and Die Woche came to play a part in the politics of the day, specifically in promoting an image of Paul von Hindenburg as both a military man and a civilian, aiding his appeal across the German population.^[1]

A Turkish weekly magazine, Yedigün, was inspired by Die Woche.^[4] Between 1993 and 2002, the title Die Woche was used for a completely different kind of weekly newspaper.
