The Kattowitzer Zeitung (1869–1874: General Gazette for the Upper Silesian Industrial District ) was a regional daily newspaper from Kattowitz founded in 1869 .
history
The founder of the Kattowitzer Zeitung was the bookseller Gottfried Siwinna who published it from 1869 under the name Allgemeine Anzeiger for the Upper Silesian industrial district . In 1870 it became the property of the G. Siwinna company . In 1874 the newspaper was renamed the Katowice newspaper . The address of the publisher and printer was Grundmannstrasse 12 (today: ulica 3 Maja 12 ) in Katowice.
January 18, 1921 - The "Königshütter Tageblatt" and the "Kattowitzer Zeitung" are banned in Opole by the Inter-Allied Commission for eight days. The newspapers support German interests in Upper Silesia, where the vote on whether they belong to Poland or the German Reich is still pending.
Shortly before the division of Upper Silesia, Carl Siwinna sold all of his property on December 1, 1921 and moved to Berlin . In 1921 the Katowice Buchdruckerei- und Verlagsgesellschaft AG took over the publication of the newspaper. The following year the newspaper became the organ of the German Party . In her comments she repeatedly described the annexation of the region to Poland as a violation of the peoples' right to self-determination. She called the establishment of a Polish administration "occupation".
From the mid-thirties it was controlled by members of the German National Young German Party . The Katowice voivod Michał Grażyński had the newspaper closed on August 15, 1939 on the grounds that it supported the positions of the Nazi leadership in Berlin .
Just a few days after the German troops marched into Katowice, the newspaper appeared again from September 9, 1939, with an imperial eagle and swastika in the title. After East Upper Silesia was re- annexed to the German Reich in October 1939, it became an organ of the NSDAP district leadership in Katowice. In 1943 it was combined with other newspapers in the region to form the Oberschlesische Zeitung . The last issue appeared on January 23, 1945, four days after the city of Katowice was occupied by the Red Army . The printing works and other property of the publishing house were confiscated by the Polish state and passed into its possession.
