history

The Schaumburg-Lippische Landes-Zeitung first appeared in 1873 in Hanover-Herrenhausen. In 1889 the sheet was sold to a consortium of members of the Conservative Party in what was then the Principality of Schaumburg-Lippe , but behind which the Princely House stood. The newspaper was then relocated to Bückeburg, and printing has since been carried out by the August Grimme court book printer. From the following year the newspaper appeared daily.

Unlike other German hometown newspapers , the Schaumburg-Lippische Landes-Zeitung was not closely linked to the dignitaries of town and country via the publisher, but, as the prince's organ, had the direct mandate of forming opinions in the sense of the sovereign.

In the Weimar Republic after the First World War , the newspaper came under the influence of the right-wing conservative German National People's Party (DNVP). Since the end of the 1920s, this got caught up in the wake of the NSDAP and in 1933 also joined Hitler's first cabinet .

Like the DNVP, the Schaumburg-Lippische Landes-Zeitung was already closely linked to the NSDAP as early as 1933: In June the Schaumburg-Lippische Landes-Zeitung and the NS paper Die Schaumburg were merged (common title Die Schaumburg. Schaumburg-Lippische Landes-Zeitung ), whereby the court chamber of the princes of Schaumburg-Lippe received a 45 percent stake in the merged newspaper.

When in 1934 the NSDAP stipulated that party official newspapers should be taken over by the Gauleiters , the court chamber sold its share. The Schaumburg. In this way, the Schaumburg-Lippische Landes-Zeitung had completely changed from the ownership structure to a Nazi battle paper . When the war ended in 1945, the newspaper ceased to appear.

In 1950, the Schaumburg-Lippische Landes-Zeitung was re-established , this time published by the family of the former newspaper printer, Mathilde Grimme and her son August.

After August Grimme's death in 1974, the newspaper was jointly taken over by the publishers Niemeyer (Hameln) and Bösendahl (Rinteln), and in 1996 it was merged with the Bösendahl publishing house.

Edition

The Schaumburg-Lippische Landes-Zeitung has slightly lost circulation in recent years . The number of copies sold has fallen by an average of 1.8% per year over the past 10 years. Last year it decreased by 3.4%. It is currently 2737 copies. The share of subscriptions in the circulation sold is 91 percent.

Development of the number of copies sold

As one of the very few newspapers still in existence today, the Schaumburg-Lippische Landes-Zeitung could not increase its circulation compared to 1934 (circulation at that time 5,300 copies).
