The Wiesbaden Tagblatt was after the Wiesbaden Kurier , the second long-term in the Hesse state capital Wiesbaden published daily by the end of the Second World War . The circulation sold in the 2nd quarter of 2019 with the Wiesbadener Kurier with the same content totaled 45,998 copies, a decrease of 43.9 percent since 1998. The Wiesbadener Tagblatt was discontinued at the beginning of 2020 and was included in the Kurier.
history
News and advertising paper
The predecessors of the Wiesbadener Tagblatt can be traced back to the “Nachrichten- und Werbungblatt”, the first newspaper published in Wiesbaden. Unlike the usual contemporary newspapers , this was not the result of a government initiative , especially in the countries of the House of Nassau . Rather, the initiator was the court and office book printer Johannes Schirmer. On December 1, 1769, he received the privilege of publishing a “weekly paper”. On April 24, 1770, a circular from the Nassau government instructed the offices and senior offices to each purchase a copy of the future paper and to advertise subscriptions to the population. On May 17, 1770, Schirmer announced the publication of a "highly privileged Princely Nassau-Saarbrückisch privilege not-for-profit news and advertising paper" for the beginning of May and opened the sale of subscriptions. At the same time he indicated that he was being supplied with information by several authorities. Reports on the spa operation should be given particular importance, including information about the properties of Wiesbaden mineral water and the printing of spa lists.
In fact, the first edition does not appear to have appeared until June 1770. The first two years are no longer available today and apparently were not worked on in older research either. The day of publication was first Saturday, then Monday. In 1781 Schirmer's successor Johann Heinrich Frey also took over the publication of the news and advertising paper. During this time the volume of printing seems to have decreased, among other things with the publication of abridged health resort lists. In the following years there were several disputes between Frey and the state administration about the scope, free copies, subscription price and the publication of official advertisements.
There is a record of a change of name with the second edition of 1796 in "Gnädigst Priveligirte Wiesbader Nachrichten zur Förderungs des Lebensmittelstandes". In 1806 the title was named "Graciously privileged Wiesbader Wochenblatt", but in the same year it was apparently renamed again to "Wiesbadener Wochenblatt". It stopped appearing in 1809 after the princely administration refused to pay for the publication of its advertisements and did not approve an increase in the subscription price.
There are 113 subscribers for 1784, 149 for 1797 and 312 for 1807. The initially princely practice of mandatory subscription to the authorities soon seems to have turned into an obligation on the part of the publisher to submit free copies to the state administration.
Apparently parallel to the arrival of the first local newspaper, court book dealer Ludwig Schellenberg had received the privilege to print government decrees of the now founded Duchy of Nassau . This pure gazette , however, was evidently unsuccessful with the general public.
Wiesbadener Wochenblatt
As a result of the founding of the duchy, an economic upswing began in Wiesbaden. The associated need for commercial advertisements evidently moved Johann Heinrich Frey to another attempt at a weekly newspaper in 1810. Under the title "Wiesbader Wochenblatt", later "Wiesbadener Wochenblatt", it was published by Freys until 1819. After that, E. Enders, JA Stein, Ludwig Riedel and Ludwig Schellenberg changed several times as publisher. From 1844 on, Schellenberg was the publisher of the Wiesbadener Wochenblatt. Until around 1850 and also during the German Revolution , the content was essentially limited to advertisements from state and city administrations as well as from private customers.
Wiesbadener Tagblatt
Under Ludwig Schellenberg's son August, the publication cycle changed to daily in 1852 and the name of the publication changed to "Wiesbadener Tagblatt". At the same time, editorial content, including on political issues, was included in the paper that had previously only appeared occasionally in the form of submissions. In 1891 an evening and a morning edition were set up. His son, Louis Schellenberg, took over the management of the Schellenberg'schen Hofdruckerei in 1877, which then printed with rotary presses from 1887 . In the 1920s, Hermann Lekisch was editor-in-chief of the Tagblatts.
On the day of publication July 1, 1943, the paper was merged with the NSDAP party paper Nassauer Volksblatt to form the Wiesbadener Zeitung due to “necessity due to the war” . The original Wiesbadener Zeitung , dating back to 1848, had already been taken over by the Nassauer Volksblatt in 1936. The publisher names used in the following months suggest that the Schellenberg family continued to be involved in the company. The last edition of the Wiesbadener Zeitung appeared on March 26, 1945. The founder's grandson, Gustav Schellenberg , was subsequently banned from working by the US occupation forces.
Wiesbadener Tagblatt after the Second World War
Schellenberg was able to have the daily newspaper published again in 1949, but found the market largely exhausted by the Wiesbadener Kurier, which was founded in 1945 , so that the newspaper was incorporated into the Allgemeine Zeitung Mainz in 1950 . The Allgemeine Zeitung had already published a Wiesbaden edition from March 1949, which was merged with the Tagblatt. The Schellenberg publishing house was converted into a GmbH and closely linked to the Mainz publishing house. At the beginning of 1952, the Aar-Bote joined the Mainz publishing house, followed by the Idsteiner Zeitung in March of that year. The editor-in-chief of the Tagblatt after the Second World War was Johannes Schäfer. He was followed by Erich Dombrowski and in 1964 Hermann Schreiber.
The Wiesbadener Tagblatt was most recently published by VRM GmbH & Co. KG , which had developed from the Mainz publishing house, as was its much larger "city competitor", the Wiesbadener Kurier . Since 2013, both newspapers have had identical content and, shortly before the daily newspaper was discontinued, they had a combined circulation of 47,277 copies. In addition, joint jacket production for Kurier , Tagblatt and Allgemeine Zeitung took place in Mainz since 2013 . Wiesbaden is thus the first state capital in Germany that no longer has a newspaper with its own full editorial team.
The headquarters are in the press building in the Wiesbaden pedestrian zone (Langgasse 21). The editor-in-chief is Stefan Schröder .
Edition
The edition of the Wiesbadener Tagblatt has been reported together with the Wiesbadener Kurier since 2013 . Since about the year 2000, both newspapers had lost circulation , similar to other local newspapers nationwide. The circulation sold has fallen by an average of 3.2% per year over the past 10 years. Last year it decreased by 4.9%. Shortly before the Tageblatt was discontinued, it was 47,277 copies. The share of subscriptions in the circulation sold was 90.6 percent.
