The German weekly newspaper Die Zeit has launched its Swiss adventure with a dossier entitled "What the Swiss can do better than the Germans". From now on, the weekly will be published every Thursday with two Switzerland pages edited by former Weltwoche culture editor Peer Teuwsen.
Among other things, the authors of the first edition explore the question of where the secret of Swiss success in politics, business, science, culture and sport lies. The Swiss have serenity and pragmatism in their genes, they say. However, success is not only due to the fact that the Swiss work well. They also know how to integrate foreign workers. Switzerland as a whole can be seen as a well-functioning international consortium.
Under the title "Deep love for the railroads", Federal Councillor Moritz Leuenberger explains Swiss transport policy as a guest author. In his text, he discusses, among other things, the half-hourly and hourly intervals and explains the policy of shifting traffic from road to rail, which underlines the constructive cooperation with Europe.
The ETH as a top European university and the emigration of Germans to Switzerland are also among the topics covered.
Teuwsen is supported on his Switzerland pages by Zeit journalist Urs Willmann. Guest authors and columnists are Roger de Weck, Mathias Plüss, Roland Fischer and Silvano Cerutti. With the new extras tailored to local readers, the Hamburg-based newspaper plans to increase its circulation in Switzerland from the current 7,000 to 10,000 copies in the medium term. This should increase the number of readers to 40,000.
