history

The newspaper was founded in 1792 by the publisher Johann Heinrich Hermann . It was published on February 29, 1792, initially as a pure intelligence paper , d. H. as an advertising paper with some entertaining reports, stories and mixed news.

After approval of a Senate privilege from August 3, 1793 to mid-1849, the title was Privileged Weekly Not-for-Profit News . During the administration of Hamburg by the French from 1810 to 1814, the paper appeared in two languages ​​as Affiches, annonces et avis de Hamburg . Since July 2, 1849, the full title of the paper has been called Hamburger Nachrichten - Morning newspaper for politics, trade and shipping, organ for Hamburg affairs, Anzeiger .

In 1851, the writer and journalist Robert Heller (1812–1871) was appointed feature editor , who was able to attract well-known authors such as Levin Schücking , Friedrich Gerstäcker , Rudolf Gottschall and Friedrich Wilhelm Hackländer as employees. From 1855 Emil Hartmeyer was editor-in-chief of Hamburger Nachrichten for almost 50 years . Werner von Melle was a member of the editorial team from 1886 to 1891.

After the resignation of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in 1890, the Hamburger Nachrichten gained special importance as Bismarck's mouthpiece. The political editor of the paper, Hermann Hofmann , visited the former chancellor regularly in Friedrichsruh and recorded his lectures. They then appeared in the newspaper as articles directed against the New Course , without ever being signed in Bismarck's name.

After the Reichstag election in September 1930, the editorial staff openly supported the National Socialists. However, due to the competition with the NSDAP party newspaper Hamburger Tageblatt , the news came under financial pressure, as many advertisers migrated to the party newspaper. The newspaper therefore had to cease publication on March 9, 1939, and part of the editorial team was taken over by the Tageblatt.

Foreign language weekly editions

From 1884 onwards the publishing house published a weekly edition intended for foreign countries, which found buyers mainly among German export merchants. From September 1914 the publisher brought out a Spanish-language edition, the Heraldo de Hamburgo , which appeared every two weeks and was produced by an independent company in the legal form of a GmbH. The paper did not cease to appear until 1924. From October 1914 a Portuguese edition appeared, the Mensageiro de Hamburgo - Hamburger Nachrichten , initially every four weeks and from May 1915 every two weeks.
