Together with external print jobs such as the Weinheimer Nachrichten , the Fränkische Nachrichten or the Odenwälder Zeitung , around 120,000 copies are printed there every day.
history
In 1946 Eitel Friedrich Schilling von Cannstatt and Oskar Hörrle received the license for a newspaper in Mannheim from the US occupation forces. The title was initially Der Morgen, but after a short time it had to be changed due to copyright problems in Mannheimer Morgen . After it turned out that Hörrle had not correctly filled out the questionnaire about his past, he left on August 29, 1946 as a license holder. Karl Ackermann , the editor-in-chief of the Stuttgarter Zeitung at the time, took over for him .
In 1951 an attempt was made to expand the distribution area for the first time by taking over the Heidelberger Tageblatt , which has been appearing again since 1949 . Two years later, a Ludwigshafen edition of the MM was published. In the period that followed, cooperation agreements were concluded with many small newspapers in North Baden, for example with the Fränkische Nachrichten, the Wertheimer Tageblatt, the Bad Mergentheimer Zeitung, the Schwetzinger Zeitung, the Hockenheimer Tageszeitung and the Weinheimer Nachrichten and the Odenwälder Zeitung. In 1967 the social democratic AZ was taken over in Mannheim . Merger talks with the Rhine Palatinate on the left bank of the Rhine did not lead to any result in 1971.
In 1975 the print shop was relocated from the city center to Wohlhotels , and the editorial team followed in 2003. The traditional press house in R1 was finally given up and sold to Lidl . Due to the difficult overall situation of the newspaper business had 2002 Speyer Tagespost be set, and with the former major competitors from Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg, the Rhine Palatinate and the Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung , joined the MM ad community.

particularities
The collaboration with the Wahlen research group on the survey of the MM Citizens' Barometer is exceptional . At regular intervals, as well as on topics of local interest, Mannheim citizens are asked in representative telephone surveys for their opinion on local politics. Surveys on major projects such as the SAP Arena or the expansion of the Rosengarten congress center , on the quality of life in the city, but also on satisfaction with local politicians have become a political issue in the city.
