The national newspaper for the Lüneburg Heath , or LZ for short , first appeared on January 15, 1946. It was the third license for a daily newspaper in the British occupation zone. The LZ is a typical local newspaper based in Lüneburg . The distribution area includes the district of Lüneburg , the Elbmarsch ( Tespe ), parts of the district of Uelzen ( Bienenbüttel , Bad Bevensen ) and the district of Harburg ( Salzhausen ).

The LZ supplies the Elbe-Jeetzel-Zeitung , the Winsener Anzeiger and the Böhme-Zeitung with pages for the areas of politics, economics, sport, media, various things, magazines and advice.

The Landeszeitung publishing house for the Lüneburger Heide GmbH prints the regional newspaper in the oldest family-owned printing house in the world, the von Stern'schen printing house, which has existed since 1614.

The LZ is usually 28 or 32 pages long during the week and a 12-page magazine at the weekend. The interview of the week and the daily comments in press reviews are cited particularly often.
