Miesbacher Anzeiger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Miesbacher Anzeiger was one of the best-known German newspapers after the First World War .

Publication history

The Anzeiger was founded in Miesbach in 1874 for an agricultural readership. Two years later, in 1876, it was taken over by the Mayr family of publishers . Under the leadership of the Mayrs, the paper had a clearly liberal character in the first decades of its existence. Since the turn of the century, it was more conservative and close to the center .

In the politically unstable period of the years after the First World War, the indicator temporarily jerked significantly to the right. Ach and Pentrop rate him for this time as an "influential anti-democratic Catholic paper". The editor Klaus Eck , who turned the Anzeiger into a forum for the extreme right , was largely responsible for this . In addition to the patriotic and anti - Semitic Ludwig Thoma , early comrades of Adolf Hitler such as Dietrich Eckart and Bernhard Stempfle also wrote for the Anzeiger . Erich Ludendorff , who was close to the NSDAP at the time , later found that the National Socialist propaganda of the Miesbacher Anzeiger of the early 1920s had also been particularly well received in northern Germany. Because there he “confused the heads” of those people who “eagerly” had absorbed everything that Stempfle had suggested to them with the Miesbacher Anzeiger about the “Bavarian order cell” . The extremely nationalistic comments made by the Gazette on foreign policy ultimately led to the paper being banned for three months in 1922 on the territory of the inter-allied Rhineland Commission .

Since 1922, again under the control of the Mayr family, the style of the newspaper moderated again. In 1945 the Allies banned the scoreboard . It was then continued under the name Miesbacher Merkur as a local part of the Münchner Merkur .
