history
The Handwerksblatt was already published under the name Handwerkszeitung in Weimar times in the eastern part of what is now North Rhine-Westphalia as a newsletter of the chambers. On 1 January 1933 one month before the seizure of power by the National Socialists, appeared for the first time the West German craft and commercial paper . Only 798 subscribers read the paper at the beginning of the year, by December the circulation increased to 8,150. The editors were the Arnsberg, Düsseldorf, Bielefeld and Dortmund Chamber of Crafts, who renamed the paper the Westdeutsche Handwerks-Zeitung in the course of the 1930s . Aachen and Münster were added in the following years, the number of subscribers grew continuously and in 1939 finally reached a customer base of 25,500 readers.
During the Second World War, the authorities severely restricted the consumption of paper and in 1942 set the circulation of the Handwerks-Zeitung to 23,000 subscribers. The paper collapsed economically. With the incorporation of the chambers of crafts into the Gau economic chambers , the bulletins of the chambers of crafts were also obsolete. In 1943 the newspaper was discontinued by order of the Reich Press Chamber. It took almost six years before a jointly supported craft newspaper appeared again.
The Düsseldorf Chamber President Georg Schulhoff and General Manager Paul-Oskar Cierpinsky managed to obtain the necessary license for the Handwerks-Zeitung in 1948 with the support of the North Rhine-Westphalian Prime Minister Karl Arnold . In 1949, the first post-war craft newspaper went to print with 14,967 subscribers in the Arnsberg, Bielefeld, Detmold, Düsseldorf and Dortmund chambers of crafts. The Cologne and Münster chambers retained their own chamber publications for years, which is still the case for the Aachen chamber today.
In the mid-1950s, the four chambers in Rhineland-Palatinate (Koblenz, Trier, Mainz and Kaiserslautern) were added. At the end of 1959 the paper had over 52,000 subscribers. In 1972 the newspaper got a new name again: HZ Deutsches Wirtschaftsblatt . At the beginning of the 1990s, the Handwerk Verlaganstalt was able to win the Chamber of Crafts in Leipzig and Rostock as well as the Chamber of Crafts of Saarland as customers. The HZ has appeared under the new name Deutsches Handwerksblatt since the mid-1990s . With Cottbus, Frankfurt / Oder and Potsdam three new chambers were added to the large Handwerksblatt association. A partial edition appears in magazine format.
