history

After the Second World War, the American occupying power in Bavaria wanted to build up a manageable number of medium-sized regional newspapers with a higher circulation instead of the small-scale press landscape that had prevailed until 1945 with numerous local newspapers. In Upper Bavaria, the Americans only licensed new newspapers in Munich, Ingolstadt, Rosenheim, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bad Reichenhall. Leonhard Lang and Ernst Haenisch received the license for a new newspaper in Rosenheim . On October 8, 1945 the new Rosenheimer Zeitung with the title Oberbayerisches Volksblatt was approved by the American military government in Munich. The license referred to the city of Rosenheim and the then districts of Rosenheim, Bad Aibling, Wasserburg and Mühldorf. The Oberbayerisches Volksblatt , approved with “License No. 6”, was the sixth new newspaper in Bavaria. The first edition appeared on October 26, 1945.

The editorial office and publishing house of the new newspaper were based in the publishing house on Prinzregentenstrasse, where the Rosenheimer Anzeiger had been produced until May 1945 .

The Munich book printer Erasmus Huber founded this traditional daily newspaper in Wasserburg as the Rosenheimer Wochenblatt in 1854 . In 1860 he moved the publishing house to Rosenheim, where he renamed the newspaper the Rosenheimer Anzeiger three years later. In 1868 Huber sold the company to Hieronymus Mühlberger and Ludwig Gaßner. In 1871, Catholic-conservative circles founded the Rosenheimer Tagblatt Wendelstein as a rival paper to the Rosenheimer Anzeiger , which fought bitter journalistic battles with its liberal opponent. In the same year Michael Niedermayr from Altenbeuern acquired the Rosenheimer Anzeiger , which appeared as a daily newspaper from 1875. Michael Niedermayr's successor was his son Robert. In 1935 his son Franz also joined the publishing house. The Rosenheim indicator was at that time already "brought into line" and taken from the NSDAP party line. The last edition of the Rosenheimer Anzeiger appeared on May 1, 1945.

In 1949, four years after the Oberbayerischer Volksblatt was founded , Franz Niedermayr joined the OVB publishing house as a further partner and managing director . When the license requirement for the establishment of newspapers was lifted in the same year, the Upper Bavarian Volksblatt was able to successfully assert itself against the competition of the local newspapers, which were now re-established.

1951 rose the Rosenheimer Wendelstein-Verlag with a share in the Oberbayerischen Volksblatt . The small daily newspaper Rosenheimer Tagblatt Wendelstein was then discontinued. In 1952 the year census of the Oberbayerischen Volksblatt was changed from the 8th to the 98th year in order to take up the tradition of the previous newspaper Rosenheimer Anzeiger , which was first published in 1855 . After Ernst Haenisch left and Leonhard Lang died, Münchner Merkur finally became a 33 percent partner in the Oberbayerischer Volksblatt in 1967 . Since then, the OVB has taken over parts of the jacket from Münchner Merkur .

In 1972, the publishing house of the Upper Bavarian Volksblatt opened a new printing plant in Aisingerwies on the outskirts of Rosenheim. In 1979 Franz Niedermayr retired after 30 years of age from the management of the publishing house, whereby Alfons Döser , who had been on the management board alongside Niedermayr since 1968, became the newspaper's sole managing director and publisher. 1982 - 15 years after Münchner Merkur joined OVB-Verlag - the Rosenheim newspaper publisher managed to become a partner in Münchner Merkur and the tabloid tz . In 1990, the company finally moved into a new publishing house on Hafnerstrasse not far from the previous publishing house. In 1997 the internet presence ovb online started . Publisher Alfons Döser retired from the management of the publishing house in 2003; since then Oliver Döser and Norbert Lauinger, from 2014 only O. Döser, were managing directors of the media company. In 2004 the publishing house celebrated the 150th newspaper year of the OVB and its forerunner Rosenheimer Anzeiger .

In 2007 the OVB home newspapers carried out a comprehensive creative relaunch. The ovb24 internet portals were launched in 2009. In 2013 the publisher invested around 20 million euros in a new printing center.
