Most demanding German Newspapers
I'd like to know if there's any relevant distinction among German newspapers with respect to the sophistication of the use of language (both syntax- and vocabulary-wise). I've seen in numerous websites that FAZ, ZEIT and SZ are the most renownd German newspapers and I've seen numerous comments on their respective political tendencies, but I've yet to see someone comment on the quality of the use of the German language in each of these.

Are really asking for "most demanding" (i.e. difficult), or are you interested in something else? E.g. most attention to good style, or whatever?

@ChristianGeiselmann Both things interest me, I'd like to read journalistic pieces that were written with the same quality that would be found in a good book. :) Not sure if that makes sense.

Geht es um deutsche Zeitungen oder um deutschsprachige? Die NZZ gilt als von gewisser Qualität, erst mit Abstand folgt die FAZ, bei anderen Produkten ist die Qualität bestenfalls durchwachsen. Oft ist der Zustand mit beklagenswert noch geschönt beschrieben.

The originality of the die Tageszeitung (die taz) would make it a little bit more demanding than the average.

If you are looking for extremes - and "most demanding" suggests you are - than try reviews of classical concerts in any of the big papers, and (IMHO) in particular in the FAZ. But don't take them as examples. It is a special style that would sound outright ridiculuous in any other context. Sometimes it feels just like a competition in inventing words and phrases.
The ZEIT and the Süddeutsche Magazin both have crosswords that are largely based on play of words. Probably quite demanding for a non-native speaker, too.
As for the "normal" texts, in my opinion the differences among good and bad texts (from a language perspective) in any one of the papers you mentioned (plus WELT and SPIEGEL) are bigger than the differences of the average level (whatever this should be) of these papers. So you can safely select them by their quality of journalism (which is out of scope here) and will get more or less the same language level.
