The Mecklenburgische & Pommersche Kirchenzeitung (MPKZ) is an evangelical weekly newspaper for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
details
The newspaper has been published by the Evangelical Press Association for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since 2002. V. published in Schwerin , since 2016 by the Evangelischer Presseverband Norddeutschland GmbH in Kiel. It emerged from the merger of the Pomeranian Church Newspaper with the Mecklenburg Church Newspaper of the Evangelical Lutheran Regional Church of Mecklenburg at the end of March 2002.
The church newspaper has been published since December 2017 with a volume of 20 (until then twelve) continuous four-color pages. Since the regional churches of Mecklenburg and Pomerania merged with the North Elbian Church of Whitsun in 2012 to form the Evangelical Lutheran Church in North Germany (Northern Church), the MPKZ has entered into a cooperation with the Evangelical newspaper for Northern Germany and the Evangelical newspaper for Lower Saxony. In 2016, the Evangelical Press Association for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania handed over the publication and production of the MPKZ to the Evangelical Press Association GmbH and thus became one of the shareholders of the GmbH, to which, in addition to the Northern Church, all of its church districts belong.
Associated with this was the introduction of a new journalistic concept in the area of the North Church in 2016, which, following the example of the MPKZ, focuses more on the worlds of the readership and thus also the differences in church and social life in the metropolis of Hamburg and the federal states of Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: The publisher and publisher of the Evangelische Zeitung for Northern Germany decided to produce an edition for Hamburg and an edition for Schleswig-Holstein with immediate effect instead of the one edition for the former northern Elbe.
From 2016 until the liquidation due to the insolvency of the Lutheran publishing house in Hanover as the publisher and publisher of the Evangelische Zeitung for Lower Saxony in June 2017, a joint first book (each with regional title and opinion pages) was created in cooperation with the three editors-in-chief in Schwerin, Hamburg and Hanover , the respective regionally shaped second book of the five editions for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Hanover and Oldenburg in the respective editorial responsibility.
After the Evangelische Zeitung for Lower Saxony was discontinued by the insolvency administrator of the Lutheran publishing house in Hanover, the Evangelische Presseverband Norddeutschland GmbH took over the task in July 2017 of creating an Evangelical weekly newspaper for this federal state and thus for the regional churches of Hanover, Braunschweig, Oldenburg and Schaumburg. Surrender lip. The editor-in-chief of the MPKZ, Tilman Baier, was entrusted with the editor-in-chief, who in October 2017 also took over the editor-in-chief for the issues in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein.
This means that the MPKZ is now a Protestant weekly newspaper that is jointly responsible for the editions of the Evangelische Zeitung for Lower Saxony, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein and sees itself as a church newspaper within the Northern Church, which, however, continues to operate through its editorial offices in Schwerin and Greifswald focuses on the church and society in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Edition
In the third quarter of 2017, the weekly newspaper had a total circulation of 5,685 copies, with a sold circulation of 4,687 copies, 4,556 of which were subscribers.

The Mecklenburg Church Newspaper was an Evangelical Lutheran Sunday paper and was published in 57 years from 1946 to 2002 by the Oberkirchenrat of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg in conjunction with the Mecklenburg Inner Mission in Schwerin .
The first edition of the weekly newspaper appeared on April 21, 1946 with a license from the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD) with a circulation of 10,000 copies. As one of five church newspapers in the GDR, the paper was later subject to a license from the press office at the GDR Council of Ministers . The weekly circulation was later at 15,000 copies. In 1993 the editorship was transferred from the Oberkirchenrat of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg to the newly founded Evangelical Press Association for Mecklenburg eV in order to meet the requirement of church journalism independent of church governing bodies.
In January 1998 the Evangelical Press Association for Mecklenburg expanded to become the Evangelical Press Association for Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania eV, in order to also publish a church newspaper for the Pomeranian Evangelical Church. Schwerin was set as the seat of the main editorial office and the editor-in-chief of the Mecklenburgische Kirchenzeitung, Tilman Baier, was also entrusted with the chief editor of the Pomeranian church newspaper. At the same time, however, the editorial staff in Greifswald was guaranteed to be largely independent when it came to regional reporting from the Pomeranian church. After the responsible editor from Greifswald, Thomas Jeutner, the decision was made to merge the two editions for Mecklenburg and Pomerania. The last edition of the Mecklenburg Church Newspaper before it was merged with the Pomeranian Church Newspaper was dated March 24, 2002.
The series of editors and chief editors of the Mecklenburg church newspaper ranges from Theodor Werner about Ernst Breul (until end 1952), Werner Schnoor (1953 provisionally for a few months), first part-time, Paul-Christian Paegelow (1953 to 1958), Werner Schnoor (since 1963 full-time), Gerhard Thomas (since 1977), Hermann Beste (1986 to 1989) and Jürgen Kapiske (1991/1992) to Tilman Baier (since 1993). According to the study published by the Schwerin State Security Officer on GDR church policy towards the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mecklenburg, three of the editors-in-chief worked conspiratorially with the Ministry for State Security : Schnoor as IM "Schütz", Thomas as IM "Schulz" and Kapiske as IM " Walter "
