New Badische Landeszeitung
The Neue Badische Landeszeitung (NBL) was a daily newspaper that appeared in Mannheim from 1866 to 1934 and was clearly politically close to left-wing liberalism .
The NBL emerged in 1866 from the Mannheimer Anzeiger, which was founded ten years earlier by the politician Johannes Schneider , who was active in the revolution of 1848 . Schneider acted as a publisher until 1870. After he left Mannheim, the paper was published in 1870 by the Mannheimer Vereinsdruckerei , a public limited company that was mostly in the hands of democratic politicians. From 1881, this company became the property of the family business Jakob Bensheimer , a bookstore that became an important publisher for scientific and legal literature during the German Empire.
Because of their liberal-democratic attitude and the Jewish ownership - after the death of the publisher Julius Bensheimer nephew Heinrich Gütermann headed the publishing house - the NBL was initially politically under the Nazi government into line . A year later Gütermann stopped the newspaper and emigrated to Latin America.
