founding

The Allgemeine Anzeiger von Uster was founded in 1846 by Johannes Weilenmann and immediately became the official publication.

First collaboration with the Tages-Anzeiger

After the death in 1986 of the long-time publisher and editor-in-chief Eugen Weilenmann junior, representative of the fourth generation of the founding family, the Tages-Anzeiger AG (now Tamedia) took a 10% stake in the Uster newspaper , whereby the focus was initially on cooperation in the technical area. In 1989 a new five-column layout with a new newspaper title ( Antiqua instead of Fraktur ) was introduced. In 1991 there was a fight to take over the majority in the newspaper between the regional newspaper of the neighboring districts of Hinwil and Pfäffikon, the Zürcher Oberländer , and the Tages-Anzeiger , which the latter won. He renamed the Anzeiger from Uster to Die Regional-Zeitung and now competed with the Zürcher Oberländer . However, he was unable to implement his strategy of acquiring additional country newspapers around the city of Zurich. From October 1994, the deficit newspaper appeared only five times a week and was limited to the role of a local secondary newspaper. In 1996 the Tages-Anzeiger founded the Anzeiger von Uster AG and gave half of its stake in the Anzeiger von Uster and thus the majority to the printing company Wetzikon AG, the publisher of the Zürcher Oberlander . Starting in 1997, the newspaper appeared again six times a week under its traditional name Anzeiger von Uster as the headline of the Zürcher Oberlander . In the following years Tamedia gradually reduced its stake and in 2005 sold the last remaining 10% to Zürcher Oberland Medien AG (until 1998 Druckerei Wetzikon AG).

Participation of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung

In 2005, FPH Freie Presse Holding, a subsidiary of Neue Zürcher Zeitung , took over a 38% stake in Zürcher Oberland Medien AG from an asset management company. The remainder of the share capital is spread among around 600 small shareholders, which means that FPH has de facto control of the company. The Anzeiger von Uster AG became the property of the Zürcher Oberland Medien. FPH Freie Presse Holding previously held a 40% stake in Akeret Druck und Verlag AG ( Zürcher Unterländer ) and a 20% stake in exchange for the assignment of 11% of its share capital and the transfer of NZZ's advertising marketing from Publigroupe in Zürichsee Presse AG ( Zürichsee-Zeitung ) .

In order to facilitate the exchange of articles and entire pages, the layout of the three regional newspapers Zürcher Oberländer (with Uster's Anzeiger ), Zürichsee-Zeitung (with Linth Zeitung and Sihltaler ) and Zürcher Unterländer has been standardized, and the newspaper titles have been modernized.

In 2006 the three regional newspapers founded Zürich Land Medien AG, which produced the cover pages for the Zürichsee-Zeitung as well as for the Zürcher Oberländer , the Anzeiger von Uster and the Zürcher Unterländer and in 2008 together with the AZ Medien ( Mittelland-Zeitung , today az Northwestern Switzerland ), the publisher Meier + Cie ( Schaffhauser Nachrichten ) and the Southeast Switzerland , the (now resold) news portal news1.ch launched.

Second collaboration with the Tages-Anzeiger

In 2010, Tamedia took over the Gut family's 60% stake in the Zürichsee-Zeitung . Then Tamedia and FPH Freie Presse Holding exchanged stakes : Tamedia gave FPH its 100% stake in Thurgauer Zeitung and in return took over FPH's 38% stake in Zürcher Oberländer (and the shares in of Zürich Land Medien AG) and the 100% stake in Zürcher Unterländer as well as the remaining stake in Zürichsee-Zeitung, which has meanwhile increased to 40% . Together with the Winterthurer Landbote , in which Tamedia had held a 20% minority stake since 2005, it formed the network of “Zürcher Regionalzeitungen”, in which the advertising business of the four newspapers was bundled. The Landbote took from 2011 the production of the shell sides. Tamedia canceled the contract at the end of 2013, after which it was able to take over the Landbote entirely at the end of August 2013 . The production of the cover pages was transferred to the Berner Zeitung from 2014 . The Zürcher regional newspapers continue to run as independent titles to this day.
