history

Headquarters of the Fuldaer Zeitung and production facility in the 19th century

On January 1, 1874, the newspaper appeared for the first time. It was produced and distributed by the Fulda Actiendruckerei in Fulda . A high-speed press was used there , which could only be operated manually. For 14 silver groschen , 1,000 subscribers received the sheet, which was shaped by Catholicism , three times a week . Five years later the newspaper appears daily.

In 1929 the Fuldaer Zeitung warned of the effects of the Nazi ideology : “The National Socialism of the Hitler Party, the overestimation of the national, the commitment to violence and power could never be reconciled with Catholic teaching. The anti-Semitic slander and calls for acts of violence not only violate Catholic doctrines about the state and society, but also the 10 commandments that apply to all of humanity. "

In 1933 the Fuldaer Zeitung was banned for four days on the grounds that it had published an appeal by the Catholic associations that criticized the government. On December 10, 1933, the editorial and production rooms were devastated by SA and SS members. From 1935 to 1945 the FC was under censorship .

On April 1, 1951, the newspaper appeared again for the first time, with a circulation of 15,000 copies. The business graduate Michael Schmitt senior, who was a publisher from 1951 to 1992, played a key role in this. In 1995 the sheet appeared for the first time partially in color.

A design relaunch took place on November 21, 2009.
