History and profile
[
edit
]
It was first edited on 18 September 1945, just a few months after the end of the
Second World War
. With northern and central
Wurttemberg
being part of the
American occupation zone
from 1945 to 1949, it was the U.S.
Information Control Division
that issued the first publishing licence to the editors
Josef Eberle
, Karl Ackermann and Henry Bernhard during the first years of the paper's existence.
Erich Schairer
joined them as co-editor in the fall of 1946. After Schairers death, Eberle remained the editor until 1972. Today, its publishing house is
Sudwestdeutsche Medien Holding
.
It is mainly read in Baden-Wurttemberg and therefore has a strong local and regional focus, but also has significant supra-regional, national and international sections, covered by separate respective editorial departments.
The paper is the recipient of the
European Newspaper Award
in the category of regional newspaper by the European Newspapers Congress in 2009.
