The Deister-Leine-Zeitung ( DLZ ) was a local newspaper with a recent circulation of around 4,500 copies.

description

The Deister-Leine-Zeitung was published in the city of Barsinghausen and in the western district of Hanover by the Philipp August Weinaug publishing house, which is 100 percent owned by the CW Niemeyer publishing house from Hameln ( Deister and Weser newspaper ) .

On January 30, 2012, the publisher announced that the Deister-Leine-Zeitung would cease publication after more than 126 years due to lack of prospects for economic reasons. The last edition of the newspaper appeared on February 29, 2012.

The newspaper was in competition with the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung . Like the Deister and Weser newspaper , the Deister-Leine-Zeitung obtained the “ coat ”, that is, the national political, economic and sports pages, from the Hannoversche Allgemeine , with which there were various interrelationships, which the newspaper closure may have promoted.

history

The Deister-Leine-Zeitung was founded as the Provinzial-Deister-Leine-Zeitung in 1885 in Wennigsen near Hanover by Louis Romeyer. In the same year, the company's headquarters were relocated to Barsinghausen and sold to the printer Philipp August Weinaug, after whom the publisher is named to this day.

Like other German hometown newspapers , the Provinzial-Deister-Leine-Zeitung was closely linked to the city's dignitaries, which from 1927 onwards secured the status of an official district paper for the Linden district and subsequently for the Hanover district .

Even after the start of the Nazi dictatorship , the newspaper was able to continue to grow, increasing its circulation by ten percent to 3955 copies between 1934 and 1937. Like many other press products, the paper had to cease publication in 1941 for economic reasons. The publisher attributes this discontinuation order to the fact that they refused to cooperate with the National Socialist rulers.

After the publication pause declared by the National Socialist state and then by the occupying powers, the newspaper was reissued as Deister-Leine-Zeitung in 1949 with the granting of freedom of the press . It appeared four times a week, from 1958 every weekday. In 1999 the Deister and Weser newspaper took over .
