The Silesian newspaper belonged to the destruction of Breslau in 1945, the most renowned newspapers in Prussia or the German Reich .
history
The founder of the Schlesische Zeitung was the Wroclaw bookseller Johann Jakob Korn , who received the newspaper privilege of the Prussian King Friedrich II after Prussia's seizure of power in Silesia . On January 3, 1742, the first edition of the new newspaper appeared under the name Schlesische Privilegierte Staats-, Kriegs- und Friedenszeitung . Initially the newspaper was printed three times a week. In 1801 the circulation was 1,200 to 1,300 pieces; it was printed on eight printing presses (hand presses).
In 1813 the newspaper was called the Silesian Privileged Newspaper ; in issue no. 34 of Saturday (Saturday) March 20, 1813, the appeal “ To my people ” by King Friedrich Wilhelm III appeared. of Prussia, with which the wars of liberation against Napoleonic France began. At that time the newspaper was already available from all royal post offices in Prussia.
According to the Silesian police chief von Kehler on August 24, 1858, “ the Schlesische Zeitung has become more and more liberal due to the influence of Molinari , Milde , von Vincke-Olbendorf, Roepell and others, and at present it can probably be regarded as the organ of the party which the Self-fame of loyalty to the constitution is constantly on the lips. "
From 1881 the Schlesische Zeitung was printed three times a day. In 1892 the newspaper celebrated its 150th anniversary; A 340-page anniversary book was published with a description of German and European history and the history of the newspaper from 1742 to 1892. The newspaper was still in the possession of the Korn descendants.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Schlesische Zeitung also published the Schlesische Illustrierte Zeitung as a weekly supplement ; it was printed in our own rotogravure printing house .
When the Schlesische Zeitung went down in 1945, the Korn family's publishing activities in Silesia also ended. After a new start by the former employee Joachim Friedrich Konrad Zeuschner (1904–1979) - first in Gera and from around 1950 in Munich - the publishing house was again active as a journalist, with JFK Zeuschner as editor. Around 1974 he bought the publishing house from the Bergmann-Korn community of heirs and thus became its (sole) owner. After his death in 1979, the publishing house was taken over on January 1, 1980 by the Würzburg Cultural Works Foundation, which was initially established as an association in 1952 and has been recognized as a public foundation since 1975 and, as far as possible, continued in the interests of Zeuschner. After exactly 30 years (on January 1, 2010) the publishing house was sold again. Today it is based in Görlitz and is called Bergstadtverlag Wilhelm Gottlieb Korn GmbH. In September 1949, the printing house of the Silesian Zeitung GmbH and their property was by the Polish government confiscated and has gone into its possession.
