History until 1945
Until 1945, Pester Lloyd was the leading and largest German-language daily newspaper in Hungary, with a liberal-democratic tendency. The Pester Lloyd appeared from December 31, 1853 (sample sheet, first regular edition: Budapest, January 1, 1854) to April 14, 1945 (last edition: Sopron / Ödenburg) twice a day as a morning and evening edition.
The newspaper was published by the Pester-Lloyd-Gesellschaft , founded in 1937 by its President Dr. Aurel Egry and Vice President Franz Szekely. The editorial office in Budapest V. was Mária-Valéria-Str. 12. The circulation at that time was 27,000 pieces. The newspaper was designed primarily for the relevant trade and industry circles, i.e. mainly for wholesalers, large-scale industry and large banks.
Report on the Nuremberg Race Laws
On September 16, 1935, the newspaper reported on the new Nuremberg race laws and said that they were a further tightening of the Jewish legislation in the Third Reich . And to make it clear what these laws would mean for German citizens of Jewish faith, it was stated:
- One would have thought that National Socialist Germany had already treated the Jews in such a way that beyond that a greater degree of disenfranchisement and persecution would hardly be conceivable. These three new Jewish laws, however, go beyond anything that has been done in this regard to a degree that has hitherto hardly been imagined.
The article went on to say that this would humiliate the German Jews into helots , introduce a new right of citizenship outside of the German Reich citizenship and thus exclude them from the community of German Reich citizens .
In 1938/39 , anti-Semitic laws were also passed in Hungary, which had had an anti-Jewish numerus clausus at universities since 1920 , and the Jewish editors of Pester Lloyd were dismissed and ghettoized in 1944.

From 2004 the Wiener Lloyd was published every four to six weeks, alternating with the Budapest Rundschau. The editorial office of Wiener Lloyd was located in Vienna under the direction of Marco Schicker. In terms of content, the pages reflected the relations between the two capitals Vienna and Budapest in economic, political and cultural areas with reference to the similarities from the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire .
