"EZ" Ev. Church newspaper in Hanover

In 1963 the Catholic church newspapers had a total circulation of around 2.4 million copies, in 1990 1.5 million copies. According to the IVW, the Catholic church newspapers still had 502,428 copies sold in the first quarter of 2015. In the years 2011–2015 the number fell by an average of six percent annually.

The Protestant church newspapers have lost an average of six percent annually from 700,000 copies to around 450,000 in recent years. In comparison, the regional daily newspapers lose an average of two percent each year, and the magazines one and a half percent in circulation.

The parish letters or parish gazettes, which a parish publishes primarily for its parishioners in editions of a few hundred copies, differ from the professionally designed church newspapers . The frequency of publication is usually between monthly and half-yearly. They are often created using digital printing .

Since 2013, Essen has been the only German diocese without its own church newspaper. The dioceses of Augsburg and Regensburg have a common shell part and their own diocese part. The same applies to the diocese newspaper Tag des Herr , which is an amalgamation of the dioceses of Berlin, Dresden-Meißen, Erfurt, Görlitz and Magdeburg. The latter dioceses are also part of the diocese press publishing group together with the dioceses of Aachen, Fulda, Hamburg, Hildesheim, Limburg, Mainz and Osnabrück .
