TY - SER KW - Berlin (Ontario) KW - Newspapers KW - German AB - A German-language weekly that carried local, provincial, national and international news. Each issue varied in length from 8 to 12 pages and included advertisements by local merchants, articles on political events, editorials, letters to the editor, a serial story, poetry and humour, dialect writings, as well as announcements of births, marriages and deaths. In July 1904 the paper amalgamated with the "Ontario Glocke" and, on 10 January 1917, its name was changed to "Ontario Journal". On 2 October 1918, coinciding with an Order-in-Council prohibiting the use of German, the newspaper began publishing in English. The University of Waterloo Library's Doris Lewis Rare Book Room has the issues from 1859 to 1898. The Kitchener Public Library's Grace Schmidt Room has bound volumes and microfilms for the years 1860 to 1909 and 1914 to 1918, as well as a few single issues. The WLU Library reports a microfilm copy for the period from 1859 to 1916. BT - Berliner Journal C1 - Motz, John; Motz, W.J.; Rittinger, John A.
