Lübeck latest news

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Allegedly due to inflation , the Lübeck Latest News appeared for the last time in 1923. They were once one of the leading daily newspapers in Lübeck and from 1865 to 1921 they were the leading mouthpiece of left-wing liberalism in the city.

The publisher Charles Coleman had it, which emerged from the railway newspaper in 1921 , appear next to his General-Anzeiger for two years .

prehistory

As a descendant of the once from Sweden after the murder of King Gustav III. Edmann's fled family, born Christoph Marquard Ed , trained as a printer at the Meißner print shop in Hamburg . Friends of the Hamburg literary greats Karl Gutzkow , Amalia Schoppe and Friedrich Hebbel , he first worked as a correspondent for the Augsburger Allgemeine and the Cottaische Morgenblätter . He also wrote novellas , such as a history of printing , under the pseudonym Stallknecht .

history

On April 17, 1842, he bought the Bergedorfer Wochenblatt from the publisher Meldau . At that time, Bergedorf was owned by both Hamburg and Lübeck. Ed was affected by the fire in Hamburg , but his newspaper publisher was spared.

Railway newspaper

The sensation of the Berlin Hamburger Bahn was decisive for the renaming of the newspaper . As a symbol of progress , it appeared as a railway newspaper from February 16, 1843 .

The current title at the time, the newspaper in Oels in Silesia, was called z. B. Locomotive on the Oder , should later lead to misunderstandings because it was confused with the professional journal for railway workers.

From January 1, 1860, the newspaper appeared daily. Their distribution area had already spread to Lauenburg and Mecklenburg . Because of this, it should be relocated to the center of Holstein . Ed decided on the Free and Hanseatic City of Lübeck as the printing location. The first edition was number 130 in the city on June 6, 1865.

On the Obertrave with the publishing house (1909)

The classicistic corner building at An der Obertrave / Große Petersgrube 29 , built by Joseph Christian Lillie , was its publishing house until the end of the First World War .

From 1866, the Eisenbahn-Zeitung was expanded to include a weekly local supplement, the Lübecker Nachrichten . Since the Volksbote was discontinued in the previous year, the Lübecker Zeitung ceased its publication and the Lübeckische Advertisements was only an advertisement sheet , the Eisenbahn-Zeitung was the only newspaper in the Hanseatic city.

Ed was responsible for the design until his death (1885) and then his son Carl Emil. Auxiliary editors were only employed for the local supplement, which appeared until 1897.

As a supporter of Prussia , only this seemed to guarantee him a somewhat liberal German Empire, he was a liberal, uncompromising advocate of minorities. He was the first to propagate in Lübeck for joining the German Customs Union in 1868 .

In 1871 , Ed was the first newspaper man to give Rudolf Mosses a credit to the advertising expedition . Theodor Pederzani , the descendant of an old Italian-Tyrolean family of lawyers, came to the city via Vienna during the German-Danish War , was Ed's assistant editor and Mosse's first representative in Lübeck. He was his only employee until 1872 and was familiar with local conditions. He was a friend Friedrich Crome and founded with this the Lübeck's ads supplementary Luebeck newspaper . Since the title of the newspaper was also the subtitle of the Eisenbahn-Zeitung, which the newspaper would not tolerate, fierce competition broke out . When Ed lost the lawsuit in 1874, the subtitle disappeared.

On June 17, 1885, Hugo Wienandt was the first editor in charge who did not come from the Ed family.

After Ed died in 1885, his publishing house was continued in a community of heirs from 1891, the publishing house CJ Boy . His daughter, the poet Ida Boy-Ed , was responsible for the intellectual character . Under her head editors-in-chief such as the writer Telesfor von Szafranski , who wrote under the pseudonym Teo v. Torn was aware of the newspaper.

Lübecker Nachrichten and Eisenbahn-Zeitung

In order to avoid the unpleasant mix-ups with the specialist railway journals, the newspaper title was adapted to the new era .

When the Eisenbahn-Zeitung threatened to lose its level at the turn of the century due to the steadily increasing competition, the city, which had 100,000 inhabitants at the time, had four: the General-Anzeiger , the Lübeckische Werbung , this and the Lübecker Volksbote, founded in 1894 as a party organ of social democracy Daily newspapers, returned to intervention by Ida Boy-Ed's Hugo Wienadt , who was now in charge of Kiel's latest news . Under him the newspaper should experience a new period of splendor. This did not shy away from criticism in justified cases against the Lübeck merchants or the Senate . Politically, he was part of the Naumann-Heuss circle and in his editorials he proved to be a distinguished opponent of the anti-Semitic court preacher Adolf Stoecker .

Wienandt bought the newspaper from Ida Boy-Ed on January 21, 1903 , together with Carl Willers , the former mechanical engineer of the Eisenbahn-Zeitung . Their close ties to liberalism, the newspaper being the Lübeck organ of the Berlin Electoral Association , turned out to be unfavorable for Lübeck, where at the time there was only the alternative between national liberalism and social democracy. On the other hand, the Lübeck General-Anzeiger became increasingly competitive under its editor-in-chief Mantau. After the sale, Wienandt went to Rostock , where he was editor of the liberal Rostocker Zeitung .

The new publisher was Otto Waelde , owner of the Lübeck publishing house . Under him the newspaper took on a national-liberal character. Waelde was a member of the Lübeck Synod . In 1921 he had to sell the newspaper to the publisher Charles Coleman , "Lübecker General-Anzeiger".

Lübeck latest news

The newspaper changed its title for the last time.

On the occasion of the meeting of the members of the German Newspaper Publishers Association in Lübeck in 1922, they were still listed in the Lübeck newspaper mirror, but a year later they were to be included in the Lübeck General-Anzeiger . The last edition appeared on September 15, 1923.

An article on the grave of a newspaper in the Lübeckische Blätter expressed regret that this traditional newspaper was dying. Because the merchants in Lübeck a paper like this, which was Lübeck's organ in politics, which committed itself to a consistent standpoint of the bourgeois center and which has always been based on the coalition that directs the fate of the empire in these times, i.e. the grand coalition under Gustav Stresemann from the SPD to the German People's Party , which tried to counteract the denial of the state by the Communists , Nazis and German Nationals , it met with bitter criticism.
