Germany‘s most widely read newspaper, Die Zeit is considered to be highbrow with its sharp criticism and thorough reporting. With 488 000 circulation per issue and 2 million readers in all German-speaking areas of Europe alone–not including international broadband subscribers who access the website version 24/7!–it has earned itself a reputation as one if not guarantee for intelligent discussion on current events from every angle imaginable
“The Time,” which translates literally into English as “times”. The first edition of Die Zeit was published in Hamburg on 21 February 1946 by Gerd Bucerius, Lovis H. Lorenz, Richard Tüngel and Ewald Schmidt di Simoni.
