Evening Post (Frankfurt am Main)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Abendpost was a national tabloid with an editorial office in Frankfurt am Main . It has been published since October 1, 1948 by the publisher of Offenbach-Post , Udo Bintz . Her longtime editor in chief Emil Frotscher was during the Second World War, chief editor of the newspaper occupying German newspaper in the Netherlands , deputy editor of its sister Paris newspaper and finally in Rolf Rien Hardt been responsible administrative office for the Ostzeitungen.

In December 1952, after a significant increase , the Abendpost had a circulation of 181,390 copies. Kurt Pritzkoleit certified the paper a few years later in “Who belongs to Germany” with “prompt news delivery [and] accurate political glosses” and a feature section whose “topicality, liveliness and critical courage gave the evening post a special place”. Willy H. Thiem was in charge of the feature section , with contributions from Thaddäus Troll and Werner Klippert , among others . In 1963, Bintz sold the newspaper to the Revue publisher Helmut Kindler and the trustee of “Concentration GmbH” (a merger of SPD or SPD-related newspapers), Herbert Allerdt. After Kindler had suggested to the editorial staff to stand up for Willy Brandt as future Federal Chancellor, Frotscher and other editors quit because they feared they would have to align the newspaper with an SPD course. Kindler later sold his shares in Allerdt.

The evening post was taken over in 1966 by the Frankfurter Societäts-Druckerei , which merged its Frankfurt night edition , which had been published since September 1949, with the evening post to form the evening post / night edition .
