history

The Saale-Zeitung emerged from several city newspapers in the towns in the Bad Kissingen district (Bad Kissingen, Münnerstadt ( Münnerstädter Zeitung ), Bad Brückenau ( Brückenauer Anzeiger ), Hammelburg ). The forerunner has been proven to have been the Kissinger Intelligence Journal since January 1, 1847 , which may have been published earlier. In 1868 Tobias August Schachenmayer bought the newspaper and printer. Since then the newspaper has been published by TA Schachenmayer and remained in the possession of the Schachenmayer family until 2002. On April 1, 1943, the National Socialists shut down the newspaper. It was not allowed to be printed again until August 1, 1949. After the Second World War, Kuno Schachenmayer took over the newspaper's publishing house. He was a member of the cooperative Bayerischer Heimatzeitungsverleger (BHZ), from which the publisher obtained the cover part . When the BHZ association continued to shrink in the course of the concentration process in the newspaper industry since the 1970s, the Saale-Zeitung publishing house set up its own editorial department in 1982 and now supplied the remaining BHZ members as an independent journalistic unit . After the fall of the Iron Curtain, the publishing house became involved in neighboring Thuringia from 1990 onwards by founding the Meininger Tageblatt .

In 2002 the Saale-Zeitung was sold to the WAZ media group , the previous publisher Bernd Schachenmayer, son of Kuno Schachenmayer, initially retained a minority share.

The Saale-Zeitung has been part of the Upper Franconia media group since January 1, 2010 . The previous majority shareholder, the Essen-based WAZ media group , had withdrawn from the Bavarian newspaper market after almost eight years and sold the Saale-Zeitung and Die Kitzinger titles . The former sole owner and most recently minority shareholder Schachenmayer also sold his remaining company shares to the Oberfranken media group in 2010 . The own print shop and the editorial office were closed.

Ulrich Lutz was the editor-in-chief from 1982 to 2010, and since then this function has been performed by the editor-in-chief of the Upper Franconian media group . The local editorial manager from 2010 to 2017 was Paul Ziegler, his successor is Susanne Will.

Brückenauer Anzeiger

The Brückenauer Anzeiger appeared as an "independent local newspaper" from 1879 to 1977. At the end of the 1930s, the local paper ceased to appear. After the Second World War , it was not printed again until July 1949. The paper came out twice a week at first, then more often. The Brückenauer Anzeiger was first published by Eisenacher and later by Nikolaus. Since 1977 the Brückenauer Anzeiger has appeared as a partially identical local edition of the Saale-Zeitung of the Schachenmayer-Verlag in Bad Kissingen, with which it was finally completely merged.
