The Hannoversche Kurier (until August 15, 1914: Hannoverscher Courier ) (HK or HC) was a newspaper that had been produced in Hanover since the middle of the 19th century and existed as a title until the end of the Second World War.

history

The first edition of the Hannoversche Couriers , which was founded by Carl Rümpler and then Adolf zum Berge, who was then editor-in-chief , appeared on September 6, 1854.

The Hannoversche Courier later stated 1849 as the year of foundation. This is due to the fact that the Gebrüder Jänecke publishing house started publishing the newspaper for Northern Germany in 1849, which was only merged with the newspapers Neue Hannoversche Werbung (founded in 1863) and the Hannoversche Courier in 1872 to form the daily newspaper Hannoverscher Courier .

On April 1, 1891, Otto Kuntzemüller , who had previously headed the Chemnitzer Tageblatt , was accepted as "political co-editor and deputy editor-in-chief" of the Hannoversche Courier .

In 1893 the circulation was 14,000 copies. A year later, in 1894, the Hannoversche Neuesten Nachrichten (founded in 1888) was also incorporated into the Hannoversche Courier . The HC developed into the mouthpiece of the National Liberal Party and from 1903 employed Karl Anlauf as editor for culture.

A few weeks after the start of the First World War , the Courier was renamed the Hannoverscher Kurier on August 16, 1914 .

In 1922 Walther Jänecke founded the Dr. Walther Jänecke KG , which experienced a high point with the construction and inauguration of the so-called courier house in 1927 in Georgstraße (today's house number: 52). However, the KG had to file for bankruptcy in June 1933 after the attempt to convert it into a GmbH had failed. The HK itself was not affected by the bankruptcy, but then got caught up in the “waters of the Lower Saxony daily newspaper” , whose editorial office moved into the “Kurierhaus” in July 1934. During this time, the business editor of the "Hannoversche Kurier" was the former head of the war press office (in the General Staff) and publicist Paul Stotten.

After the circulation of the Hannoversche Kurier had dropped from 26,800 to 18,000 copies between January 1934 and October 1938, it was presumably taken over in 1938 by the National Socialist collecting company Herold-Verlags-GmbH .

The HK merged on October 11, 1941 with the Hannoversche Tageblatt , both together from September 1, 1944 with the Hannoversche Zeitung (which had emerged in 1943 from the merger of the Hannoverscher Anzeiger and the Niedersächsische Tageszeitung (NTZ)): The remaining newspaper ran to the end of the Second World War next to the name of the Hannoversche Anzeiger and the NTZ also the HK in the subtitle .

The Neue Hannoversche Kurier , a news bulletin published by the British occupation authorities for the German civilian population, appeared as a follow-up publication on May 29, 1945 .
