Jeune-Allemagne
In Zurich, Fein became an editor at the "Neue Zürcher Zeitung" but was forced to resign because his articles were deemed too radical. In 1835 he joined 'Young Germany', a secret society modelled on Mazzini's 'Young Italy' and propagating a similar ideology of democracy, nationalism and social reform. Fein became a member of the Central Committee of Young Germany.
