The Zeitzer Latest News was founded on January 28, 1900 as a free and independent daily newspaper in the city of Zeitz . The founder was the businessman Reinhold Jubelt, who was born on October 4, 1863 as the son of the woolen goods manufacturer Carl Jubelt in Zeitz . The ZNN was printed in the specially built residential and commercial building at Brüderstraße 14 using the latest technology. The publisher was Reinhold Jubelt KG in Zeitz.

The ZNN quickly reached a growing readership with a home-based, culturally and economically appealing conservative presentation. In addition to the daily updated press and the daily newspaper delivered to the rural areas of the surrounding region using our own transport vehicles, the many free supplements about local history were particularly popular.

The Reinhold Jubelt publishing house also published a trail map of the Zeitz Forest that he had made himself and printed various hiking books and books on local history. He also published a local hiking booklet with a number of hikes he had compiled himself.

So was z. B., the excavation of the old imperial castle in Breitenbach stimulated and reported in detail about the archaeological results. The ZNN campaigned for the preservation of the old Zeitz town hall , which was built in late Gothic architecture, and also pushed for the return of Luther's valuable original theses. The ZNN stood up for the preservation and against the dissolution of the old humanistic collegiate high school on Steinsgraben. For the 390th anniversary of this institution, a comprehensive treatise on monastery and school with numerous pictures was published as a special issue in 1930.

Like all daily newspapers of that time, it was not easy for the ZNN and its editors to withstand the pressure of the respective ruling political forces without giving up their own values. The lost First World War and its aftermath were also reflected in the daily press. The rise of the National Socialists was reported as well as other political, economic and cultural events. After the National Socialists came to power in 1933, political pressure also increased on the ZNN. Nevertheless, no member of the leading family joined the NSDAP. Again and again compromises had to be made in order to save the newspaper and the many jobs from perishing. This was not always easy, because the ZNN also employed people from families who were persecuted by the National Socialists. The "editors' law", which came into force on January 1, 1934, was a restriction of the freedom of the press enforced by state power. As early as 1935, the publication of the ZNN was initially banned by the Nazi regime for three weeks and then finally stopped in March 1943 due to government regulations. The subscribers had to be assigned to the Zeitzer Tageblatt - formerly the Mitteldeutsche Nationalzeitung, the official gazette of the NSDAP.

After the liberation of the city of Zeitz by the Americans, the son of company founder Reinhold, Arthur Jubelt, who had directed the fortunes of the ZNN after the death of his father and brother until the termination, was appointed first mayor of the liberated city of Zeitz. The Zeitzer Latest News came to life shortly before the Soviet troops replaced the Americans in Zeitz and put an end to the free press in Zeitz and the later GDR, which would last 54 years. The ZNN shared the fate of all daily newspapers in the Soviet occupation zone and was expropriated, Arthur Jubelt , the last editor of the ZNN, was denounced, deposed as mayor and died in Special Camp II in Buchenwald on December 6, 1947.
