history
On April 5, 1830, the printer Christian Ludwig Rost received the printer's concession from the royal Bavarian administration and in the same year founded the Pirmasenser Wochenblatt , which initially appeared once a week. The new medium quickly established itself, but rust died as early as November 1831. The Bavarian government recognized the advantage of an information organ in the shoe city and transferred the license to the printer Friedrich Philipp Deil a few days after Rost's death.
In the years that followed, Deil expanded its product range to include specialist magazines, school books and calendars, supported the liberal German Press and Fatherland Association and also printed political publications such as Der deutsche Mai and Der Liberale im Westrich . After his death in 1853, his wife Luise Deil managed the inheritance until his son Adolf Deil could take over. After Adolf's untimely death, Luise Deil took over the management again, together with her son-in-law Johannes Baisch, until her sons Guido and Hugo were able to manage the company. From the 1870s the newspaper appeared three times a week, from 1890 then daily.
During the First World War, the newspaper suffered from rationing and the military service of important employees. After 1918 things slowly improved again. In February 1924 the Autonomous Government banned the publication of the Pirmasenser Wochenblatt. The following popular protests contributed to the overthrow of the separatists.
In 1936 Viktor Deil and Werner Baisch took over the Pirmasenser Zeitung after Guido Deil died and Hugo Deil became seriously ill.
During the air raid on Pirmasens on March 15, 1945, the publishing house was reduced to rubble. After the Second World War , the French occupying power banned the newspaper because of the ownership structure, whereby the first competition in the form of the Rheinpfalz was able to establish itself. It was not until 1949 that Werner Baisch was allowed to print the sheet now named in the Pirmasenser Zeitung . The PZ quickly became the city's highest-circulation newspaper again.
Werner Baisch died in 1952 and his wife Hilde Baisch took over the management of the company until their sons Hans Frieder and Volker joined the company in 1964 and 1966 respectively.
In 1995 the owners sold their newspaper to the Tukan publishing company. Peter Schaub took over their shares in 2003 and became the owner of the PZ. In 2005, Peter Schaub's father, Dieter Schaub, main shareholder of Medien-Union GmbH, became the publisher of PZ .
particularities
Since the weekly and later daily newspaper was mainly read by employees from the shoe industry, the paper initially appeared, in contrast to other newspapers, traditionally in the late morning as a lunchtime newspaper . It was not until well after the decline of the shoe industry in Pirmasens that the publication was switched to the early morning in 1989.
Edition
The Pirmasenser Zeitung has lost a lot of its circulation in recent years . The number of copies sold has fallen by an average of 2.7% per year over the past 10 years. Last year it decreased by 3.3%. It currently amounts to 8988 copies. The share of subscriptions in the circulation sold is 92.1 percent.
