history
The history of the newspaper goes back to 1848, when the Leeraner Abendblatt appeared for the first time on April 15th . At first it only appeared on Tuesdays and Saturdays with a length of four pages. More publication days and additional pages were added later. In 1936 the title changed to Ostfriesische Tageszeitung .
After the end of the Second World War, the Ostfriesen-Zeitung appeared for the first time on September 1, 1949 . It was a sub-edition of the Oldenburger Nordwest-Zeitung for the Aurich administrative region. On November 1, 1950, the four East Frisian publishers founded the Ostfriesen-Zeitung GmbH. Until 1956, the newspaper in Leer was printed by the Rautenberg printing company, when the Leer-based printing company took over DH Zopfs und Sohn. The newspaper editorial office and administration were also located there.
In 2002 the ZGO emerged from the merger of OZ and General-Anzeiger . The Nordwest-Zeitung in Oldenburg was involved in the ZGO until October 2007, but sold its shares because of concerns from the Federal Cartel Office .
