prehistory

In 1918, the later founder of the Heilbronner Sonntags-Zeitung, Erich Schairer - succeeded Ernst Jäckh and Theodor Heuss - became editor-in-chief of the bourgeois-liberal Heilbronner Neckar-Zeitung . Because he represented “leftist ideas” there , there was a “row” between the publisher Viktor Kraemer and the editor-in-chief Schairer, with subsequent termination without notice. According to Uwe Jacobi , the publisher had previously committed “press censorship” by having Schairer scratch an glossary from the cover on the printing plate on November 15, 1919 . It was a contribution that criticized a representative of the stab in the back legend . As a result, the “Swabian fire head” Schairer founded his own weekly newspaper in January 1920, the left-wing socialist Heilbronner Sonntags-Zeitung , which developed into one of the “most important weekly newspapers in Germany” .

Erich Schairer was the founder and publisher until August 1934, Paul Gloning was the publisher from August 1934 to February 1937, and Richard Breitling from February 1937.
