history

General-Anzeiger of July 11, 1907

A first newspaper was founded in Pforzheim in 1794 under the title Weekly News from and for Pforzheim . In 1832 she changed her name to The Observer . From 1856 the newspaper appeared for 66 years under the title Pforzheimer Observer , from January 1, 1858 in a larger format and five times a week. In 1905 the newspaper merged with the advertising paper Städtisches Tagblatt to form the Pforzheimer Generalanzeiger . The Pforzheimer Latest News , as the paper was called from October 1918, had to stop its publication in the confusion of the inflation period.

From 1925 the newspaper appeared again as the Pforzheimer Rundschau , initially as a weekly, from October 1928 on again daily. During the National Socialist era, the Rundschau appeared continuously until it had to be closed on March 1, 1943, allegedly due to a lack of paper.

On July 29, 1947, the American occupation powers first issued a license to publish a new newspaper under the title Süddeutsche Allgemeine , which had to be printed in Karlsruhe due to the destruction of the printing house in the February 23, 1945 bombing raid. The initial licensees Johann Peter Brandenburg and Felix Richter left the publishing house by December 1, 1949, from which Jakob Esslinger took over all shares. The first edition of the Pforzheimer Zeitung had already appeared on October 1, 1949 .
