Die Zeit ('The Time') was a German language daily newspaper published in Prague, Czechoslovakia from 1935 to 1938. The newspaper was the central organ of the Sudeten German Party (SdP).[1] The first issue came out on 1 October 1935.[2] Die Zeit took over the role as the central party organ from the weekly Rundschau.[3] Walter Brand was the editor-in-chief of Die Zeit.[4]

The newspaper received funds from Germany.[5] 250,000 Reichsmark were transferred for the launch of Die Zeit, followed by a monthly subsidy of 10,000 Reichsmarks.[2]
Die Zeit had an illustrated supplement, Zeitspiegel ('Mirror of Time').[6]
As of 1937/1938 SdP re-organized its party press.[6] All small publishing companies were merged in two central publishing companies. On 1 January 1938 Die Zeit, Zeitspiegel and Rundschau came under the management of the publishing company "Pressa-Gesellschaft m. b. H., Herausgabe und Verkauf von Zeitungen und Zeitschriften", at Hybernska Street 4, Prague II.[6] On 1 April 1938 the weekly Die Zeit am Montag ('The Time on Monday') was added to the publications issued by the same company.[6]
The SdP shut down its Prague HQ and Die Zeit on 14 September 1938.[7] The suspension of publishing of Die Zeit was supposedly 'temporary'.[8]
On 4 October 1938 Die Zeit re-appeared, being published from Dresden, Germany.[8] Once the Reichsgau Sudetenland had been established, Die Zeit became the official NSDAP daily for Sudetenland.[8] The publishing was shifted to Reichenberg.[8] Die Zeit was issued by R.S. Gauverlag Sudetenland G.m.b.H. between 1939 and 1945.[8] Publication continued at least until February 1945.[9]
