history

In 2004 the "Nürnberger Zeitung" (NZ) celebrated its bicentenary as one of the oldest German daily newspapers. The newspaper was founded in the summer of 1804 by the Württemberg and Hohenlohe ambassadors to the Franconian Reichskreis in Nuremberg, Ludwig von Taube and von Schaden, together with the cartographer Hammer as the "Franconian district correspondent for and for Germany". He was later renamed "Correspondent from and for Germany".

It was advantageous for the newspaper that Nuremberg was at the center of numerous trade and postal routes, so that the city was also a news center. The newspaper also received the latest information through its Europe-wide network of correspondents. This newspaper was up to date and attractive to a subscriber base of officials, nobles and military throughout Germany and neighboring German-speaking countries.

As one of the first German daily newspapers, the "Korrespondent" had a feature section from 1807 in which non-political and cultural news were printed that were less strictly controlled by the censors .

With the main editors (today: editors-in-chief) Henle (1829–1845) and Philipp Feust (1846–1880), two Jewish intellectuals were at the head of the paper for a long time. Philipp Feust turned a pure news sheet into an opinion sheet with comments. He expanded the range of information so that in addition to domestic and foreign policy and the features section, the business section was also added.

From 1880 the newspaper steered a national liberal course. In 1890 the “Correspondent from and for Germany” merged with the “Generalanzeiger for Nuremberg, Fürth and the surrounding area”, which now also became the title holder. The newspaper developed into a local newspaper that was mainly financed by selling advertisements. In 1913 the paper was called "Nürnberger Zeitung" for the first time. The newspaper "Fränkischer Kurier" carried this name from 1842–1846. The editors paid attention to party-political neutrality. As a result of the diverse local and regional reporting, the NZ reached a circulation of around 80,000 copies sold daily at the beginning of the 1930s.

In 1929, Rabbi Max Freudenthal had praised the NZ for “never opening its cracks” to hatred of Jews . But in the Third Reich , the NZ was also politically aligned as a bourgeois newspaper, so that from 1933 news and commentaries in competition with the NSDAP organ "Fränkische Tageszeitung", which was produced in the printing works of the Nordbayerische Zeitung under its director, Gaupressewart Max Fink, were increasingly anti-Semitic and National Socialist in color. The publication of the NZ had to be stopped on March 31, 1943 for "war-important" reasons.

After the Second World War, the NZ was only allowed to appear again on August 22, 1949 . Therefore, the NZ had lost its leading position to the " Nürnberger Nachrichten ", which had already received license No. 3 in Bavaria on October 11, 1945 from the occupying powers . The NZ merged in 1951 with the "Nordbayerische Zeitung". Since then it has been subtitled under the name "Fränkischer Kurier".

In 1961, the “Pressehaus GmbH”, which stands behind the “Nürnberger Nachrichten”, took a share in the NZ publishing house. In 1968 the NZ extended its circulation area beyond Nuremberg under the title “Nordbayerische Zeitung”. In the 1970s and 1980s, "Pressehaus GmbH" then took over NZ completely.
