history

Albert Limbach founded the Berglein und Limbach printing company together with Albert Berglein in 1865 . From 1870 Limbach was the sole owner and moved to Leopoldstrasse in 1877. From 1880 the publishing house published the Braunschweigische Landeszeitung , from 1886 also the Braunschweiger Stadtanzeiger . In 1887 the company moved into the newly built press house in the city center ( Hutfilter 8), which was the seat of the printing company and the publishing house with a number of local and regional newspapers for almost 100 years .

In 1909 the Dresden entrepreneur Gottlieb Paul Leonhardt acquired the company until it was handed over to his daughter Isolde Voigt (* February 14, 1897; † 1988) in 1936 , after his son-in-law, the Hungarian consul Harald E. Voigt, joined the publishing company in 1927. Harald E. Voigt later became an adjutant in the NSDAP's foreign press office.

The Braunschweigische Landeszeitung was discontinued in 1936 and the Braunschweiger Stadtanzeiger in 1941 . The Braunschweiger Landeszeitung appeared from 1941 to 1944 . Despite the devastating bombing raids of 1944 , the printing plant survived the Second World War undamaged.

Isolde Voigt's sons, Henning and Arndt, accepted the publisher Hans Eckensberger († 1966) as a partner in the company, and on January 6, 1946 , he was the second publisher in the British occupation zone to receive the newspaper license to publish the Braunschweiger Zeitung , which initially appeared only twice a week due to a lack of paper, from November 1947 three times a week and since September 1949 every weekday.

According to the articles of association of Eckensberger & Co. of June 17, 1961, the shares of the publisher Helga Eckensbergers fell to the Voigt family in the event of her death. This case occurred when Helga Eckensberger was the victim of a violent crime in her apartment. The perpetrator Volkmar Weilguny, who (according to Spiegel) had connections to the Voigt family, was convicted of bodily harm resulting in death.

In June 1981 the print shop, editorial office and publishing house moved into the press building on Hamburger Strasse, and the old press building on Hutfilter was converted into a shopping center (Burg-Passage). In 2014, the publishing house and the editorial team will move into the new press house on Langen Straße in the city center; the printing plant is now located on Christian-Pommer-Straße in the north of Braunschweig.
