The courier
Der Kurier was a licensed daily newspaper sponsored by the French occupation forces in 1945 with a liberal influence in Berlin in the post-war years . In terms of appearance, the newspaper first came out in the tabloid style as the first evening paper in Berlin. A special feature was initially that there was a weekly edition of the newspaper for German prisoners of war in France.
The founding members of the Kurier included Margret Boveri , Carl Linfert and Eberhard Schulz . Carl Helfrich was the first editor in chief, but he was soon replaced by Paul Bourdin . The business editor was taken over by Hans Otto Wesemann , who previously wrote articles for the Frankfurter Zeitung (FZ) and Das Reich . The editors Kurt Balzer and Eberhard Schulz also came from the FC . In the features section of the newspaper, Boveri worked alongside Karl Korn , who previously worked for FZ and Das Reich . Also Christa Rotzoll came from the kingdom to the courier as also Peter Bamm .
The newspaper was published by the publishing house Neue Verlagsgesellschaft Der Kurier mbH , based at Reinickendorfer Straße 3. Der Kurier in Berlin-Gesundbrunnen at Schulzendorfer Strasse 26 was printed by Hentschel, Heidrich & Co. GmbH.
It was initially published three times a week with the subtitle “Die Berliner Abendzeitung” on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. After only six months the newspaper could appear six times a week, later the newspaper was printed twice a day (twelve times a week) at noon and in the afternoon. At first it was only sold in the street.
The Kurier appeared from November 12, 1945 to December 31, 1966, when it was discontinued due to a lack of subscribers. The Kurier was printed in its final phase until it was discontinued in the Tempelhof printing house .
