Foundation and advancement
In 1894 the publisher Gustav Fuchs founded the company Fuchs & Cie. as a limited partnership which published the newspaper as a publisher. It was well received by the population, although the low purchase price may also have played a role. In 1929 his son Hans Fuchs took over the management of the publishing house. In 1937 the DNN had a circulation of 35,000 pieces. This made it the newspaper with the highest circulation in Gdansk.
Distribution and content
The newspaper appeared in the afternoon every weekday with a length of 16 pages. Supplements were labeled Volkstum und Heimat , Der Artushof , Unser Kind , Reisen und Wander , Auto und Motor and Der Danziger Farmer . Information on film and radio was also provided. The newspaper was distributed in Danzig, the Pomeranian Voivodeship , Posen and the neighboring German eastern provinces and in the Baltic states .
Political orientation
