Reinhold Jubelt the Elder was born on October 4th, 1863 as the son of the woolen goods manufacturer Carl Jubelt in his father's house at Stiftsberg 2 in Zeitz. After attending the Stiftsgymnasium, he learned to be a businessman in the company of his later father-in-law Richard Herrmann at the "Neue Sorge" mine (the Herrmannsschacht) near Grana . After a year in the military, he worked as a businessman in two other companies before he made the decision to set up his own business.

On January 28, 1889, he founded his company under the same name at Brüderstraße 10 with the opening of a paper, stationery and drawing shop, which was also affiliated with a bookbindery with a small printing company. Later a book distribution and a bookstore were added. In the same year he married his wife Amalia Natalia Agnes, b. Herrmann, who gave him four children (1890 Reinhold "called the Younger", 1892 Else Jubelt, 1894 Arthur Jubelt , 1896 Lotte Jubelt). In 1892 Reinhold Jubelt bought the property at 14 Brüderstraße, on which the building group of the Helm'schen Restaurant was still located at that time, and built the largest residential and commercial building in Zeitz in its place.

At the beginning of 1900 he founded the independent and impartial daily newspaper Zeitzer Latest News , in which many local history supplements appeared in loose succession. The Reinhold Jubelt publishing house also published a trail map of the Zeitz Forest that he had made himself and printed various hiking books and books on local history. He also published a local hiking booklet with a number of hikes he had compiled himself. It is thanks to his high level of commitment as a historian and tireless researcher for the local history of Zeitz that his life's work still serves as the basis for the city's history today.

He was the initiator of the foundation of the history and antiquity association for Zeitz and the surrounding area. In this association, which was founded on his initiative, he was treasurer and patron for many years . He was involved as a protector of many cultural assets, which he saved from destruction or sale and partly saved for the later Zeitz Heimatmuseum , of which he was a loyal companion. So he was z. B., who initiated the excavation of the old imperial castle in Breitenbach, advocated the preservation of the old Zeitz town hall built in late Gothic architecture and also promoted the return of the valuable original theses by Martin Luther . Reinhold Jubelt worked with full force for the preservation and against the dissolution of the old humanistic collegiate high school on Steinsgraben, which he attended himself. For the 390th anniversary of this institution, he published a comprehensive treatise on monastery and school with numerous pictures as a special issue in 1930. He also expressed his close ties to his old school by founding a foundation named after his brother Karl and him, the "Karl and Reinhold Jubelt Foundation".

From 1902 he was an active member of the Rennsteig Club, founded in 1896, and served this club as a race attendant for over 25 years from 1906. In 1928 he became the prince's deputy. After his death in 1934 , a Douglas fir was planted in his honor, in recognition of his services to the Rennsteig Club, at the founding house of the Rennsteig Club at the Waldhaus "Weidmannsheil" in the Franconian town of Steinbach am Wald, and a memorial stone was unveiled, which is still preserved today.

It is thanks to his enthusiasm for photography that some of the buildings that no longer exist today have been preserved for posterity on his postcards and photos. His postcards are now coveted collector's items. From the "mixed choir" to which he has remained loyal as an active singer for over 50 years, he was awarded honorary membership in 1931 on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the association. His father, Carl Jubelt, helped found the “mixed choir” in 1881 and made his son familiar with the art of music and singing at an early age.

Reinhold cheers d. Ä. was an excellent piano player. He was one of the founders of the Chamber Music Association, in which he played eight days before his death.

As a child of the imperial era , he remained loyal to the monarchy for a long time and struggled with the lost First World War and its aftermath. Reinhold Jubelt represented a home-based, nationally conservative attitude.

Precisely because of this national conservative attitude he had especially after the seizure of power of the Nazis in 1933 is repetitive compromises in order to preserve his company and the many jobs from destruction. This was not always easy as he also employed people from families who were persecuted by the National Socialists in his company.

He saw the editors' law , which came into force on January 1, 1934, as a restriction enforced by state power to work as a freelance entrepreneur and as an independent newspaper publisher. He, who was never a member of the NSDAP , no longer had to see that his newspaper was initially banned for three weeks by the Nazi regime in 1935 and then finally closed in March 1943. The official reason for the closure by the Nazi regime was "paper shortage". At the time of the closure, however, the publisher had a stock of over 60 tons of paper.

Today a cast of the anniversary medal shown here commemorating the 50th company anniversary 1889–1939 on the residential and commercial building he built in 1892 (see photo) in Zeitz, Brüderstraße 14.

On the occasion of his 150th birthday on October 4, 2013, Reinhold Jubelt was honored by the Rennsteigverein 1896 eV as an old race attendant with a "Jubelt-Rennefahrt" in memory of the 4-day race in 1903. On the occasion of this birthday, his life's work was also commemorated in a detailed lecture in October 2013 at the History and Antiquity Association for Zeitz und Umgegend eV.
