The newspaper masthead carried the slogan Tageszeitung für das werktätige Volk Oberbadens (Daily newspaper for the working people of Upper Baden). History and profile When the ''Volkswacht'' appeared for the first time on 1 July 1911, the Catholic Church of Southern Baden reacted at once and the newspaper was denounced from church pulpits already on the following day, 2 July 1911, with a pastoral letter. In 1920 the ''Volkswacht of Freiburg'' was the German newspaper which, in its editions of 22 and 23 March, covered the most extensively the legal proceeding before the court-martial in Freiburg against Unteroffizier Digele who had killed Gustav Landauer on 2 May 1919 in Munich.

Social Democratic
Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism that supports political and economic democracy. As a policy regime, it is described by academics as advocating economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal-democratic polity and a capitalist-oriented mixed economy. The protocols and norms used to accomplish this involve a commitment to representative and participatory democracy, measures for income redistribution, regulation of the economy in the general interest, and social welfare provisions. Due to longstanding governance by social democratic parties during the post-war consensus and their influence on socioeconomic policy in Northern and Western Europe, social democracy became associated with Keynesianism, the Nordic model, the social-liberal paradigm, and welfare states within political circles in the late 20th century. It has been described as the most common form of Western or modern soci ...

Christian Nußbaum
Christians () are people who follow or adhere to Christianity, a monotheistic Abrahamic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The words ''Christ'' and ''Christian'' derive from the Koine Greek title ''Christós'' (Χριστός), a translation of the Biblical Hebrew term ''mashiach'' (מָשִׁיחַ) (usually rendered as ''messiah'' in English). While there are diverse interpretations of Christianity which sometimes conflict, they are united in believing that Jesus has a unique significance. The term ''Christian'' used as an adjective is descriptive of anything associated with Christianity or Christian churches, or in a proverbial sense "all that is noble, and good, and Christ-like." It does not have a meaning of 'of Christ' or 'related or pertaining to Christ'. According to a 2011 Pew Research Center survey, there were 2.2 billion Christians around the world in 2010, up from about 600 million in 1910. Today, about 37% of all Christians live in the Ameri ...
