Minnesota’s first German-language newspaper, the Minnesota Deutsche Zeitung, is published in St. Paul by editors Friedrich Orthwein and Albert Wolff. It is the second non-English newspaper in Minnesota, the first being Dakota Tawaxitu Kin (Dakota Friend), published in English and Dakota by missionary Gideon H. Pond from 1850 to 1852.
