New Yorker Volkszeitung

New Yorker Volkszeitung was the longest-running German language daily labor newspaper in the United States of America, established in 1878 and suspending publication in October 1932. At the time of its demise during the Great Depression the Volkszeitung was the only German language daily in the United States and one of the oldest radical left newspapers in the nation.

During the 19th Century Germans were the second-largest immigrant group to the United States, behind only the ethnic Irish. The wave of German immigration began slowly, averaging about 20,000 people per year during the decades of the 1830s and early 1840s, before exploding after the economic crisis of 1847 and the failure of the Revolution of 1848 in the German states. when the first wave of mass emigration peaked, 1854, some 220,000 Germans lifted up stakes in the fatherland for a new home in America.

Immigration centered in a number of major American cities of the East and Midwest, including St. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and New York City — urban areas which retained this Germanic influence for many decades, or in some cases, for generations.

A second mass wave of emigration from Germany to America began in 1866, following the conclusion of the American Civil War and running until the economic collapse associated with the Panic of 1873. During this second flurry of departures more than a million more Germans were added to the population of the United States.
