physical size

Please clarify: does "very large physical size" mean that it's printed on a large paper format, or simply that it has lots of pages?

I think that means the large paper format. According to de.WP, Die Zeit uses the Nordisch format - noticeably larger than many (regional) daily newspapers. de:Die Zeit also notes that this large format has been the subject of satire. As a national and a weekly newspaper, it has more pages than many regional dailies, but I don't think that's very surprising. 85.180.13.126 (talk) 14:13, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

protestant

How is "Die Zeit" protestant? As a regular reader I can't see any preference for some religious denomination. fpesth 11:23, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

the? Time

The name of the publication is probably better translated as simply "Time" rather than "The Time." That's just how abstract nouns work in German: you have to use a definite article to refer to them, whereas we don't do that in English.

More logically translated as "The Times." Sca (talk) 15:48, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why? That'd translate as "Die Zeiten" - plural. G-41614, not logged in.

Agree that, for the reason stated above, "Die Zeit" = "Time," not "The Time" and certainly not "The Times." I've been a professional translator of German to English for almost 30 years. The statement in the article that "Die Zeit" "literally" means "The Time" is incorrect. JohnMason (talk) 02:39, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

High brow

The paper is considered to be high brow. While I don't necessarily disagree, "high brow" has negative connotations that seem inappropriate here and "is considered to be" is simply glossing over the fact that this is a personal opinion. (This stylistic tool has a name - which I forget - and is discusses as one of the things to avoid in writing Wikipedia articles) 172.179.101.199 12:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Info box

Rather odd that the infox box is headed by a large Die Zeit flag (logo) that is immediately repeated by a (10-year-old) Die Zeit front page used as the graphic therein. (The info box in the German Wiki article contains only text.) Sca (talk) 15:44, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
