history
On August 1, 1929, Josef Terboven was appointed head of the newly formed NS-Gaues Essen and founded the national newspaper in the same year . When Otto Wagener set up the national newspaper in Essen in 1930, he received support from Theodor Reismann-Grone , although Reismann-Grone recognized the national newspaper as a competitor for his Rheinisch-Westfälische Zeitung . The founder of the Pan-German Association Reismann-Grone was a supporter of the NSDAP, and his Rheinisch-Westfälische Zeitung reported benevolently about the NSDAP's election campaign. He brokered a printing company. Reismann-Grones son-in-law Otto Dietrich gave up the management of the commercial section of the Munich-Augsburger Abendzeitung and the position as Munich correspondent of the Leipziger Neuesten Nachrichten (LNN), returned to Essen and became the main editor of the national newspaper .
When the national newspaper ran into financial difficulties, Wagener turned to Hans Louis Ferdinand von Löwenstein zu Löwenstein , the executive board member of the mining association. Reismann-Grone was formerly the general secretary of the mining association. Wagener was recommended by Löwenstein to Ludwig Grauert , the managing director of the employers' association. The employers' association gave the national newspaper a loan of 50,000 Reichsmarks according to Wagener and 100,000 Reichsmarks according to Grauert. The NSDAP never paid back the loan. He was bridging aid over the Reichstag election on September 14, 1930 . Until mid-December 1930 the national newspaper was a comparatively cautious NSDAP organ.
The Austrian NSDAP and the Völkischer Beobachter were banned in Austria on June 19, 1933. The national newspaper was permitted in Austria until the annexation of Austria in 1938. Then the Völkischer Beobachter was also printed in Vienna.
The national newspaper appeared in various district editions and with several supplements. In 1939 it had a total edition of 167,076 copies (district edition Groß-Essen 39,962).
