Der Nordstern (The North Star) was a weekly German-language newspaper published in Saint Cloud, Minnesota. It was founded in 1874 to serve the area's large German immigrant community. The paper's unique focus on local news contributed to rapid growth, making it one of the largest circulations in the state. It survived demographic and political changes following World War I, in part because the editorial staff had begun offering an English-language supplement in 1922. After a run of 57 years, Der Nordstern ceased publication in 1931 during the height of the Great Depression.
