Weser newspaper
The Weser-Zeitung was a “politically-mercantile commercial paper ” from Bremen , which was published from January 1, 1844 to September 30, 1934 by Schünemann Verlag . As a liberal daily newspaper, it gained national importance. At times the newspaper appeared twice a day: in a morning and an evening or midday edition.
The editors-in-chief of the Weser-Zeitung included u. a. the future mayor Otto Gildemeister (from 1851 to 1852), Emil Fitger (from 1886 to 1917) - brother of the painter and writer Arthur Fitger - and the future senator Georg Borttscheller (from 1929 to 1934).
On October 1, 1934, the Weser-Zeitung merged with the Bremer Nachrichten , until 1944 the title was then Bremer Nachrichten with Weser-Zeitung .
Editor-in-chief Fitger was also the founder of the Lower Saxony Press Association in Hanover in 1906 , in which the newspaper was represented.
