history

The attitude of the Magdeburg newspaper in the general election in 1878 had caused so much offense to the politically moderate sectors of the population that it thought had come to found a new large daily newspaper for the province of Saxony by an independent position and liberal tendency, whose seat the city of Magdeburg be should. Therefore, a founding meeting was convened on August 28, 1878 in Eitel's Local in Magdeburg's Apfelstrasse. A committee was formed there under the leadership of Mayor Blüthgen from Schönebeck and it was decided to found a stock corporation and publish the Neue Magdeburger Zeitung from October 1, 1878. This should break the previous sole rule of the Magdeburger Zeitung on the market. The factory owner and member of the state parliament Rudolf Stengel from Staßfurt drafted the statute of the Neue Magdeburger Zeitung corporation and advertised participation.

The political management of the newspaper was taken over by lawyer Peter Kloeppel in Berlin , as a former member of the Reichstag and the Prussian House of Representatives from 1873 to 1876. The editor in charge was H. Dinckelberg from Magdeburg. The editorial office was based in Hasselbachstrasse 1.

The Neue Magdeburger Zeitung ceased its publication as early as June 1879, after an extraordinary general meeting on June 12, 1879 decided to liquidate the stock corporation. The publisher of the Magdeburg General Gazette Eduard Hamm agreed to publish his General Gazette with a liberal tendency, similar to the Aachen General Gazette , from October 1, 1879 .
