history
On March 31, 1875, the chaplain Friedrich Dasbach founded the two newspapers “Sanct-Paulinus-Blatt” and “Katholische Volkszeitung” as well as the “St. Paulinus-Druckerei ”. On October 1, 1875, the “Katholische Volkszeitung” was renamed “Trierische Landeszeitung”.
On February 28, 1943, as part of the second of a total of three major shutdowns, a total of 950 newspapers had to cease publication by order of the Reich Press Chamber. The Trierische Landeszeitung also had to bow to this measure. The reasons for this were both the scarcity of raw materials and the efforts of Goebbels' propaganda apparatus to keep public opinion under control.
After the end of the Second World War , printing was resumed on November 1, 1949. In 1972 the financial burdens of the diocese of Trier became too great and the newspaper was sold to the Saarbrücker Zeitung . Under the direction of the Saarbrücker Zeitung, the Trierische Landeszeitung continued to be printed in the Paulinus print shop in Trier until the Trierische Landeszeitung was finally stopped on March 31, 1974. Since then, the only daily newspaper in Trier has been the Trierischer Volksfreund .
