Illinois Staats-Zeitung (Illinois State Newspaper) was one of the most well-known German-language newspapers of the United States; it was published in Chicago from 1848 until 1922. Along with the Westliche Post and Anzeiger des Westens, both of St. Louis, it was one of the three most successful German-language newspapers in the United States Midwest,[2] and described as "the leading Republican paper of the Northwest", alongside the Chicago Tribune.[3] By 1876, the paper was printing 14,000 copies an hour and was second only to the Tribune in citywide circulation.[4][5]
