Low German newspaper

The low German newspaper (NZ) was established on March 15, 1922 (according to DIN A3 Overview Hannoversche newspapers of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Library for the first time on May 2, 1922 issued) and up to 31 December 1933 published newspaper . From the beginning it was a “national combat paper”, which - anti-democratic and anti-parliamentary - was close to the German National People's Party (DNVP) and the Hugenberg Group .

history

From 1922 to 1933 the professional soldier acted a. D., landowner and DNVP politician Wilhelm von Ditfurth as co-editor and chairman of the supervisory board of the newspaper. In 1922 Karl Anlauf , who from the 1920s onwards was both secretary of the Hanoverian citizens' associations and main employee of the civil guard , became head of the features section of the Niederdeutsche Zeitung.

In 1930 the edition was only 4,000 copies.

On May 10, 1933, the newspaper celebrated the result of the Reichstag election : “Overwhelming victory by Hitler-Hugenberg”. Because of a critical article about the course of the new bar association elections, the newspaper drew a warning from the district president on May 10, 1933.

Despite the dissolution of the German National Front (as the successor to the DNVP) on June 28, 1933, the NZ appeared until December 31, 1933 and was then discontinued without giving any reason.
