history

Editor at the news desk of the Märkische Oderzeitung

The Märkische Oderzeitung has been published as an independent daily newspaper by Märkisches Medienhaus GmbH & Co. KG since March 17, 1990, the day before the first free elections to the GDR Volkskammer . The MOZ emerged from the daily newspaper Neuer Tag . This came into being in 1952 in the course of the abolition of the GDR countries (and the formation of the GDR districts ) as an organ of the district leadership of the SED Frankfurt (Oder). At the time of the fall of the Wall , the subtitle of the newspaper read the socialist daily in the Frankfurt / Oder district . When the MOZ was founded, many of the New Day editors were taken over.

With effect from January 1, 2011, Märkische Verlags- und Druckhaus GmbH & Co. KG (MVD) acquired the Oranienburger Generalanzeiger (including the local edition Hennigsdorfer Generalanzeiger , the sister newspapers Gransee Zeitung and Ruppiner Anzeiger as well as the advertising newspapers Märker and Brandenburger Wochenblatt ). The MVD is also the publisher of the Neuenhagener Echos , a monthly newspaper for the Neuenhagen municipality near Berlin , which is also its official gazette.

Shareholder

The shareholders of the Märkisches Verlags- und Druckhaus were half of the Neue Pressegesellschaft (publisher of the Südwest-Presse ) and one half of the Stuttgarter Zeitung Verlagsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG (publisher of the Stuttgarter Zeitung and the Stuttgarter Nachrichten ). At the end of 2012 the Neue Pressegesellschaft took over all shares. Since 2016 the MVD has been operating under the new name Märkisches Medienhaus GmbH & Co. KG, or MMH for short; its sole shareholder is Frankfurter Mediengesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, which in turn is wholly owned by the aforementioned Neue Pressegesellschaft mbH & Co. KG.
