history
The Ludwigsburger Kreiszeitung goes back to the first published on July 1st, 1818 "Ludwigsburger Wochenblatt". The Neckar and Enzbote was founded in 1836 under the name "Wochenblatt aus Besigheim". The first edition appeared on March 21, 1836.
Christoph Friedrich Nast, Ludwigsburg bookbinder, publisher and antiquarian, publishes the “Ludwigsburger Wochenblatt” on July 1, 1818 with the “highest approval from the Wuerttemberg king”, the forerunner of today's Ludwigsburger Kreiszeitung. As early as 1804, Nast founded a bookstore at Asperger Straße 3 (today Modehaus Oberpaur), which later became the Aigner bookstore. Just one year later, the newspaper was renamed the "intelligence paper for the Neckar district and Ludwigsburg weekly paper". The newspaper was appointed to the official gazette of the Oberamt Ludwigsburg in 1820. In 1826 the newspaper appeared twice a week and, in addition to advertisements, anecdotes and jokes were published. Ten years later, the newspaper was published three times a week and the circulation was 500 copies. For the third time in the company's history, the newspaper was renamed "Ludwigsburger Wochenblatt" in 1843. The request to publish political articles was rejected by the press censorship authority, a royal ministry. In 1846 the name was changed to "Ludwigsburger Tagblatt" and since then it has appeared daily.
Political news published for the first time, approved by the King. Initially these were published daily, then only three times a week due to high bail payments for political news. The remaining sheet becomes the publication “Der Hausfreund” (until 1863). Sale of the publishing rights from Nast to Ferdinand Riehm. Riehm's publishing rights were transferred to Heinrich Theurer in 1862. This moved to Körnerstraße 16. In 1872, Heinrich Ungeheuer acquired the publishing rights, printing and publishing of the Ludwigsburger Tagblatt, together with Louis Greiner. After his death, Heinrich Ungeheuer founded the printing and publishing house Ungeheuer & Ulmer together with his son-in-law Moritz Ulmer. For the fifth time the newspaper is renamed "Ludwigsburger Zeitung". In 1896 the extraordinary title of "Royal Court Book Printer" was awarded. Nine years after the award, the first rotary printing press was created. In 1919, the population of Ludwigsburg has risen from 15,000 to 25,000 since 1900, and the print run increased to 10,000. Copies increased. The Neckar and Enzbote that had been founded was acquired in 1933.
Because of “political unreliability”, the remaining 51% were expropriated by the National Socialists in 1939 (since 1933 Editor's Law). After the end of the Second World War, the newspaper appeared irregularly as an official gazette in various legal constructions until 1949. In that year the newspaper appeared again and was renamed “Ludwigsburger Kreiszeitung”. In 1951 the second and in 1964 the third rotary printing press were purchased. In 1978 the "light type" was introduced, which meant the end of the lead type. The free television supplement IWZ has been available since 1984. The fourth rotary printing press was purchased in 1995. For the first time in the company's history, the newspaper was printed in color and changed to a new layout. The regional editions with different regional pages were introduced in 1999. Current regional editions, in addition to the Neckar and Enzbote and the main edition for the city of Ludwigsburg, are: Strohgäu, Neckartal as well as Marbach and Bottwartal. In 2003 the pages were rearranged. 1. Book Politics, Background, Stuttgart and Southwest; 2. Book City and District of Ludwigsburg; 3. Book magazine and service; 4. Book Sport and Economy. The new layout was adapted in 2006. The website at www.lkz.de was revised in 2007. The newspaper has also been available as a digital e-paper since 2012. In 2012 the layout was again adapted as a "facelift" in a modern design. In 2016, an expanded Saturday edition was introduced.
