Frankfurter Nachrichten
In the period from 1855 to 1910, the Frankfurter Nachrichten was a news supplement to the weekly intelligence paper of the Free City of Frankfurt , a pure advertising and announcement paper.
On October 10, 1910, the two periodicals were merged to form the newspaper Frankfurter Nachrichten and Intellektivenblatt , which appeared as a regional, middle-class daily newspaper until 1934 . The printing and publishing building was on the corner of Neue Mainzer-Strasse 38 and Große Gallusstrasse. It was destroyed in the war. Last editor-in-chief: Heinz Gorrenz. His newspaper had to give way to the Nazi-bound Frankfurter Volksblatt , which was declared a compulsory subscription for all party members.
In the 1970s to 1990s, an advertising paper with detailed reports from the Frankfurt districts appeared under the name “Frankfurter Nachrichten” (FN) , which was distributed free of charge on Thursdays in Frankfurt and published by the publisher of the Main-Echo . The Fraktur font of the newspaper head was similar to the font of its name predecessor. For the entire Frankfurt metropolitan area, there was a common cover with cross-district advertisements and articles. The second book was produced in several variants, largely with different content, including for the areas of Frankfurt-Höchst, Frankfurt-Nordwest, Frankfurt-Mitte and Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen. Within these regional editions there was also a variant for individual parts of the city (a so-called changing page), in the Northwest edition, for example, for Heddernheim, Praunheim and Niederursel, each with different journalistic texts. This advertising paper emerged from the “Bornheimer Brücke”, which was founded in 1949 for the Bornheim district of Frankfurt and also served as an advertising medium for the tour operator of the same name. Even under the later name “Frankfurter Nachrichten”, the name “Bornheimer Brücke” was retained as the title of the second book for Bornheim; the tour operator was later renamed "Frankfurter Nachrichten Reisen".
