''Kattowitzer Volkswille'' ('Kattowitz/Katowice People's Will'), generally called just ''Volkswille'', was a German-language Social Democratic newspaper published from Kattowitz (today Katowice). The newspaper was founded in 1916 by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) politician Otto Braun. Initially, the newspaper carried the devise 'Upper Silesian Free Press - Organ of the Upper Silesia Agitation District of the Social Democratic Party of Germany'.〔Blachetta-Madajczyk, Petra. ''(Klassenkampf oder Nation?: deutsche Sozialdemokratie in Polen 1918-1939. Schriften des Bundesarchivs, 49 )''. Düsseldorf: Droste, 1997. p. 39〕 As Kattowitz/Katowice was transferred to Poland after the Silesian Uprisings, the devise of the newspaper was changed to 'Organ of the German Social Democratic Party of Poland for the Working People'. ''Volkswille'' became the central party organ of the German Social Democratic Party of Poland (DSPP), which had been formed out of the remains of SPD, USPD and SDAPÖ branches in areas that were now within the Polish republic. As Upper Silesia was divided between Germany and Poland, a new SPD organ (''Oberschlesisches Volksblatt'') was founded in the parts of Upper Silesia that remained in Germany.〔 When the DSPP merged into the German Socialist Labour Party in Poland (DSAP), ''Lodzer Volkszeitung'' became the new central party organ of the unified party. ''Volkswille'' continued to published though, being the DSAP organ in Katowice.〔Lakeberg, Beata. ''(Das Judenbild in den Presseorganen der deutschen Sozialisten in der Zweiten Polnischen Republik )''〕 In January 1931 the Bielsko DSAP organ ''Volksstimme'' was, due to lack of funds, merged into ''Volkswille''.〔 In 1933, ''Volkswille'' was converted from a daily to a weekly newspaper. The cause was rather simple, the German ''Machtübernahme'' meant that financial subventions from Germany for ''Volkswille'' ceased.〔Blachetta-Madajczyk, Petra. ''(Klassenkampf oder Nation?: deutsche Sozialdemokratie in Polen 1918-1939. Schriften des Bundesarchivs, 49 )''. Düsseldorf: Droste, 1997. pp. 40〕 In 1935 all DSAP organs were merged into one, ''Volkszeitung-Volkswille-Volksstimme'', published from Łódź.〔Kowalski, Werner. ''(Geschichte der sozialistischen Arbeiter-Internationale: 1923 - 19 )''. Berlin: Dt. Verl. d. Wissenschaften, 1985. p. 319〕 ==Editors== Karl Okonsky became editor of ''Volkswille'' on December 12, 1918. Between 1922-1924 the editor was Dr. Wilhelm Wolf, chairman of AfA-Bund. From 1924 to 1935 the DSPP chairman Johann Kowoll served as the ''Volkswille'' editor.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kattowitzer Volkswille」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
