history

The first edition of a daily newspaper under the title Goslarsche Zeitung appeared on January 1, 1889. The history of the press in Goslar is older, however. On December 15, 1783, Ernst Wilhelm Gottlieb Kirchner printed an announcement in which he announced that he would publish a weekly newspaper called Goslarsche Polizey and Commercien-Zeitung for 100 subscribers from the following year . The company initially failed because of the Goslar city council, which refused permission to print. Kirchner was not successful until January 1800. In 1813 a second edition was added each week. After several changes of ownership, Franz and Joseph Jäger published the paper daily from 1889 under the name that has been preserved to this day. The Goslarsche Zeitung itself gives the year 1783 under the title as the year it was founded.

The hands had changed hands again when Karl Krause from Stade took over the majority of the company's shares in 1900 . In 1925 he became the publisher and editor of the Goslarschen Zeitung . He was followed by his son Walther, who had also been editor-in-chief since 1940 . In 1943, at the instigation of the Reich Press Chamber , the newspaper merged with another Goslar publication, the latest news , only had the name Goslarsche Zeitung in the subtitle until the end of the Second World War and was now called the Harzer Tageblatt (today the main edition has the name Harzer Tageblatt in the subtitle) .

From 1949 the Goslarsche Zeitung cooperated with other newspapers in the production of the supra-regional part, from which the newspaper ring Südniedersachsen emerged . Through the purchase of various formerly independent, competing papers from the Harz region, the publishing house enlarged the publication area of ​​the Goslarsche Zeitung considerably in the following decades and secured it a monopoly position. The company acquired the Harzburger Zeitung , the public advertisements for the Harz in Clausthal-Zellerfeld, the Braunlager Zeitung and the Sankt Andreasberger Zeitung .

In the 1960s, the sons Walther Krause, Gert and Klaus took over the management of the publishing house. In the course of increasing media concentration , the newspaper ring Südniedersachsen and the main editorial office in Goslar were dissolved in 1986. Since then, the Goslarsche Zeitung has received the national news from the Braunschweiger Zeitung , but is still an independent company.

After the end of the GDR in 1990, the Karl Krause publishing house opened a local editorial office on the other side of the former border in the neighboring Saxony-Anhalt city of Wernigerode and reissued the Wernigeröder newspaper, which existed until 1943 . However, the project failed due to competition from the dominant Harzer Volksstimme , a local edition of the Magdeburg Volksstimme , and was discontinued in 1995.

Since 2002, cousins ​​Klemens Karl Krause and Philipp Krause have been running the company Medienhaus Krause in the fourth generation, which also includes an advertising paper (extra on Wednesday) , a multimedia agency, a telephone directory publisher, an online portal and a mail delivery service. In December 2010 Andreas Rietschel became editor-in-chief of the Goslarschen Zeitung . Jörg Kleine has been editor-in-chief since April 2018.
