history

Lower Saxony observer

The Lower Saxon Observer first appeared in 1923 as a National Socialist weekly newspaper. After the party ban came to an end in 1925, Bernhard Rust, at the same time editor and editor, re-founded the newspaper.

Lower Saxony daily newspaper

After the election success of the NSDAP in September 1930, Bernhard Rust suggested the establishment of a daily newspaper, the first edition of which then appeared on February 1, 1931 - again with Rust as editor and editor - under the name of Niedersächsische Tageszeitung . In the following years the newspaper was banned several times, for example from October 16, 1931 for two months. During this time, the newspaper's financial condition was often referred to as "catastrophic".

After the takeover of power in 1933, the Lower Saxony daily was reorganized at the expense of communist and social democratic newspapers such as the Neue Arbeiter Zeitung (NAZ) or the Volkswillen . As a result of the forced transfer of the printing press to a social democratic newspaper, an independent branch of the NTZ could appear in Göttingen from October 1933, the Göttinger Nachrichten , which had previously only been included as a regional supplement to the NTZ. After the SS occupied the trade union building on Nikolaistraße on April 1, 1933 , the NTZ moved there in June 1933. Also in 1933 Theodor Abbetmeyer , who saw the dawning of the “fall of the West” in the previously avant-garde cultural and theater scene in Hanover, became the full-time editor for cultural policy .

In the first years of National Socialism , the NTZ launched journalistic attacks against the Hannoversche Anzeiger , which was accused of publishing advertisements from the General German Trade Union Federation and advertisements for Jewish businesses .

Friedrich Lüddecke has also been supplying the NTZ since the year of the seizure of power and until the end , most recently as head of the “Local” department.

The NTZ reached a circulation of 100,000 copies in May of the same year, but this had fallen to 50,000 copies by April 1935. Since the end of 1933 the NTZ had the subtitle "Largest National Socialist Party Gazette in Northern Germany", and from 6/7. 1934 "The largest newspaper in Northern Germany".

In July 1934, the editorial team moved to the Kurierhaus on Georgstrasse .

Hannoversche Zeitung

On March 1, 1943, the newspaper merged with the Hannoversche Anzeiger to form the Hannoversche Zeitung , the last edition of which was on 7/8. April 1945 appeared.
