Life

Schaub, who came from a Deidesheim winemaking family, started working in the publishing industry in the early 1920s. He was a co-founder of the center newspaper "Neue Pfälzische Landeszeitung" in Ludwigshafen am Rhein . Because of his involvement in the “Pfalzwacht”, an offshoot of the Bayernwacht in the left bank of Bavaria that existed from 1930 to 1933, a professional ban was imposed on Schaub during the Nazi era .

After the Second World War, Schaub co-founded the regional daily newspaper Die Rheinpfalz , which was available from September 29, 1945. Schaub was the head of this newspaper for twenty years.

Schaub was a member of the main committee of the Federal Association of German Newspaper Publishers and the supervisory board of the German Press Agency . On his 60th birthday he was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit.

His son is the entrepreneur Dieter Schaub , who took over the management of the "Rheinpfalz" from 1964.
