History

Founded in 1882 as the Der Tiroler, the paper was renamed Der Landsmann in August 1923 [1] after the ban of use the "Tirolo" name in all its forms by the fascist government. In October 1925, the newspaper was forced to close due to its anti-fascist stance [1] and reopened two years after, only under heavy and restrictive terms, as the media outlet of the catholic association Azione Cattolica, through the branch at the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Trento and in 1926 was renamed with the present name Dolomiten. In 1943, the newspaper was closed again, by the German-Nazi administration in Italy, and a number of journalists were deported to the Dachau concentration camp. The publication was reopened only in 1945, after obtaining the permission by the Allied military government. Today, the newspaper publishes also a number of weekly and monthly inserts, focused on entertainment and financial issues.

The newspaper is a member of MIDAS (European Association of Daily Newspapers in Minority and Regional Languages). [2]

In 1919, at the time of its annexation, the middle part of the County of Tyrol which is today called South Tyrol was inhabited by almost 90% German speakers. Under the 1939 South Tyrol Option Agreement, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini determined the status of the German and Ladin (Rhaeto-Romanic) ethnic groups living in the region. They could emigrate to Germany, or stay in Italy and accept their complete Italianization. As a consequence of this, the society of South Tyrol was deeply riven. Those who wanted to stay, the so-called Dableiber, were condemned as traitors while those who left (Optanten) were defamed as Nazis. Because of the outbreak of World War II, this agreement was never fully implemented. Illegal Katakombenschulen were set up to teach children the German language.
