Hamburg Foreign Journal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hamburger Fremdblatt was one of the most important daily newspapers in Hamburg in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

The newspaper was originally a list of arriving foreigners in Hamburg published from 1828 onwards and appeared as the Hamburg foreigner paper from September 24, 1864 . It came into the possession of the publisher Albert Broschek in 1907 and was expropriated by the National Socialists in 1936 . In early September 1944 it was forcibly merged with the Hamburger Anzeiger and the Hamburger Tageblatt to form the Hamburger Zeitung .

The Hamburger Fremdblatt already differed from other newspapers in its unusually large format - this made this paper immediately noticeable among all other newspapers. In addition, as early as the 1920s, the Hamburg Foreign Journal illustrated many of its articles with large photographs using the copper gravure printing process - that was a sensation at the time when newspapers were still predominantly made up of “ lead deserts ” (almost only texts).

After the war ended in 1945, all German newspapers were banned by the Allied Control Council . Newspapers without a license could only appear again after freedom of the press was granted in 1949. Broschek's heirs made a brief, unsuccessful attempt at revival in 1954. Thereafter, the Hamburger Abendblatt , which was newly founded in 1948 , had the name Hamburger Fremdblatt as a subtitle until April 4, 1992 in order to - according to its own account - block it from other competitors. The Hamburger Fremdblatt is therefore often mistakenly mistaken for the forerunner of the Hamburger Abendblatt .
