biography

Lamberti was the son of the printer Wilhelm Lamberti from Leer. He learned the trade of a book printer and lithographer . Since 1839 he was married to Anna Lydia Cattermole from Blumenthaler .

In 1834 the Bremen Senate did not allow the printer Ernsting to publish a sheet because he feared that the sheet in distant Bremerhaven could evade the strict Bremen censorship .

In order to circumvent Bremen's restrictive newspaper policy , the propreussian Lamberti applied for a newspaper to be published in the Prussian Lehe. In 1842 he received permission to publish the weekly Bremerleher . From 1846 the paper was called Weekly Advertisements for Lehe, the surrounding area and the Wursten region , from 1848 Der Mitteiler an der Unterweser , from 1861 Volksblatt an der Nordsee and from 1862 Volksblatt an der Weser .

The newspaper was an advertising paper and at times also an intelligence paper with general and also a few political news. Although the sheet was published in Lehe to avoid the failure of a permit from Bremen, it was mainly intended for the Bremerhaven area, which is also proven by the origin of the advertisements. After the revolution of 1848/49 he was able to reside in Bremerhaven. The communicator on the Unterweser changed his profile; increasingly political news of the revolution and its aftermath was brought. In 1861 he brought out the paper as Volksblatt an der Nordsee or Volksblatt an der Weser , a newspaper that wanted to serve “the development of freedom, justice and truth, and thus the cause of the people”.

The weekly newspaper for Bremerhaven and the surrounding area was published from 1852 to 1854 as a competing newspaper and was taken over by the Provinzial-Zeitung in 1854 . The correspondence sheet for Bremerhaven came out in 1856. The Nordsee-Zeitung was founded in 1866. The political weekly for the area of ​​the Lower Weser and Elbe was only printed by Lamberti in Lehe in 1849.

After 1850 Lamberti had to give Bremen a deposit of 500 thalers in order to be able to publish a sheet of political news. The community politician Hilderich Ihler vouched for this. When this guarantee expired, the Bremen office demanded that the newspaper be closed in 1865 or Lamberti himself should provide the deposit. He left his savings account to the office. In 1869 his printing house was destroyed by fire. The newspaper has now been sold to the Nordsee-Zeitung and its publication has been discontinued.
