The district newspaper is one of the six largest daily newspapers in Lower Saxony . The seat is in the city of Syke ( district of Diepholz ) about 20 kilometers south of Bremen . The sold circulation is 55,050 copies, a decrease of 32.7 percent since 1998.
history
The beginnings of the paper go back to the year 1859, when the book printer Gustav Knauer in the county of Hoya (today the district of Nienburg / Weser ) began to publish a periodically published paper. In 1872 the company founded another publishing house in neighboring Syke. The two papers became regional leaders. In 1943 it was ordered to merge both sheets. From 1945 the district newspaper was no longer allowed to appear.
From October 1, 1952, the newly founded county newspaper for the county of Hoya appeared again. In 1971 the paper merged with the Allgemeine Anzeiger Brinkum near Bremen (municipality of Stuhr ). 1974 began a cooperation with the Aller-Weser-Zeitung in Verden , which merged two years later with the district newspaper Syke . With the district reform in 1977, the Syker Verlag merged with its southern neighbors in the new Diepholz district , the Diepholzer Kreisblatt and the Sulinger Kreiszeitung . In 2004 the last merger took place for the time being. The Kreiszeitungs-Verlagsgesellschaft took over the majority stake in the Karl Sasse publishing house in Rotenburg (Wümme) , which publishes, among other things, the Rotenburger Kreiszeitung . In contrast to all other newspaper titles of the Kreiszeitung Mediengruppe, the Rotenburger Kreiszeitung is in the advertising tariff group “Bremer Werbung block” of the Bremer Tageszeitungen AG.

Development of the number of copies sold
meaning
The sheet appears in two districts of Lower Saxony quasi a monopoly or clearly dominant ( Diepholz , Verden ) and further into three counties in part areas ( administrative district Oldenburg , Rotenburg (Wümme) , Nienburg ).
