The Obermosel-Zeitung (; ) was a German-language newspaper published in Luxembourg between 1881 and 1948. In 1948, it merged into the Lëtzebuerger Journal.
The Trier printer Josef Eßlen often read the two main party newspapers of Luxembourg City, the Catholic Luxemburger Wort and the liberal Luxemburger Zeitung, and decided that there was a market for a third newspaper. As a foreigner, he did not dare establish himself in the capital, and therefore set up business in a border town, close to Germany. He had initially considered Remich, but finally decided on Grevenmacher. The first edition of the Obermosel-Zeitung appeared on 2 July 1881.
