Hannoversche Volkszeitung

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hannoversche Volkszeitung (HV) was the headline of the Hildesheimische Zeitung for Hanover and the surrounding area , founded in 1885 . Wilhelm Maxen was the founder and publisher of the newspaper , which is closely related to the Center Party .

description

During the Weimar Republic, the newspaper printed by Kornacker mainly attacked the German National People's Party under Alfred Hugenberg , but less so against the NSDAP and Adolf Hitler . The Hannoversche Volkszeitung commented on Hitler's appointment as Reich Chancellor with the headline

" Hitler rules - Hugenberg dictates "

The critical reporting decreased significantly after the Enabling Act of March 23, 1933 and the Reich Concordat of July 20, 1933.

State Post

At the end of 1933 the Hannoversche Volkszeitung merged with the Hildesheimische Zeitung to form the Landespost ; However, after two articles were directed against National Socialist racial studies , this was not allowed to appear from February 17 to March 17, 1934.

The Hildesheim rose printed in the head of the newspaper was replaced by the bishop's cross from May 15, 1935 .

The last edition of the Landespost appeared on December 20, 1939, before it was merged with the Hildesheim Observer due to the war .
