Life

background

Dieter Schaub, Roman Catholic, was born on November 6, 1937 as the son of the printing company owner Josef Schaub (1899–1978) in Wesel and grew up in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse . Shortly after the surrender in 1945, his father, a Nazi opponent from a conservative-liberal family and co-founder of the center organ “Neue Pfälzische Landeszeitung”, received, together with five other newspaper experts, the license to publish the regional daily newspaper “ Die Rheinpfalz ”, which appeared for the first time on September 29, 1945 and in 1947 had a circulation of 200,000 copies.

Entrepreneur

Medien Union GmbH was founded in 1947 as the publisher of the "Rheinpfalz", in which the Schaub family has held 50.7 percent since then and the remaining shares are owned by the descendants of the other four founding families, Lenk, Wipprecht, Resch and Nagel.

Dieter Schaub took over the management of the "Rheinpfalz" in 1964. In February 1970 he bought the Bosch family's 27.5 percent stake in the “Stuttgarter Zeitung”, including their property in Stuttgart. Schaub founded the newspaper distributor "Süwe" and became the managing director of the "Stuttgarter Zeitung". He gave up the post after internal disputes.

Via the 44 percent stake in Südwestdeutsche Medien Holding (SWMH; "Stuttgarter Zeitung", "Stuttgarter Nachrichten"), the Medien-Union bought in at the end of 2002 as the sixth shareholder with 18.75 percent in the ailing Süddeutsche Verlag (SV).
