Luise Madsack was the wife of the newspaper publisher Erich Madsack and daughter-in-law of the founder of the Madsack publishing company , August Madsack .

In the early 1960s she became a member of the management of the publishing company in Hanover , among other things to relieve her husband. In 1965, officially not until 1969, the year her husband died, she took over the management of the company until she took over the chairmanship of the supervisory board in 1976 ; a position she held until 1983. During this time she initiated the takeover of what was then Neue Hannoversche Presse in 1975 , which has since appeared with an independent editorial team under the title Neue Presse .

Under the direction of Luise Madsack, the business policy of her late husband was continued and the development of the Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung into the leading daily newspaper in Lower Saxony and one of the leading regional newspapers in the Federal Republic of Germany was initiated. Under her aegis, the construction and relocation of the Anzeiger high-rise to the new publishing house with an attached printing center in the Hanover district of Bemerode took place .

After Luise Madsack withdrew from active business policy into her private life in the mid-1980s, she spent the last years of her life in Switzerland. She was buried in the family grave of the Madsacks in the Hanover city cemetery Engesohde .
