History and Development
The newspaper was launched in 1773 as Offenbach's privileged real, question and advertisement sheet . Over time, the newspaper, which initially appeared only once a week, developed into a daily newspaper with a changing name. In 1870 the Offenbacher Zeitung OZ was connected to a telegraphic news agency . The Frankfurter Parteiverlag bought the newspaper after the National Socialists came to power in 1939 in order to use it as a party organ .
In 1947 the Offenbach-Post was founded by Udo Bintz with a license from the American military government . It was the eleventh daily newspaper that was allowed to appear in post-war Germany . The naming was based on the famous Washington Post , in the area of which relatives of Bintz lived.
The office was located on Grosse Marktstrasse in Offenbach's city center, followed by the print shop. A little later the Offenbach-Post went on in the OZ publishing house. Udo Bintz's son, Peter Udo Bintz , took over the publishing management of Pressehaus Bintz-Verlag GmbH & Co. KG in the early 1970s.
The business premises, which had been located on Aliceplatz since the early 1960s, were relocated to the outskirts of the city on Waldstrasse in 1997 (printing) and 1998 (publishing house). In the summer of 1974, the Ippen family, represented by Dirk Ippen , acquired the 50 percent share of the Offenbach family Dohany. The publisher Udo Bintz held 40%, the remaining 10% the publishing director Otto Eberitsch. Dirk Ippen was already controlling the Westfälischer Anzeiger and the district newspaper for the county of Hoya ; he was also the managing partner of Merkur Adressverlag in Einbeck . On January 1, 2005, Ippen took over the remaining 50 percent.
From 2006 to February 2011, Offenbach-Post gave its name to the Offenbach-Post grandstand in the former stadium on Bieberer Berg , in which Kickers Offenbach played its home games until the Sparda-Bank-Hessen Stadium was built.
