Newspapers (stock)
Stadtarchiv Bad Berleburg, Z · Fonds
Part of Bad Berleburg City Archive (Archivtektonik)

Description of stock: The stock of newspapers contains newspapers that have appeared in Berleburg or have a local reference. The Wittgnesteiner Kreisblatt, published for the first time in 1852 by the Berleburg publisher Matthey, is an important source material. The newspaper is printed by Berleburger Druckerei Winckel. In 1933, the Wittgensteiner Kreisblatt was brought into line with the seizure of power and given the new name National Zeitung. Wittgenstein appears only in the subtitle. Since these two collections show strong signs of use, they have been filmed with the help of the Medienarchives Dortmund and are available to users as microfilms. After the end of the Second World War in 1946, the Westfalenpost was the first to receive a licence from the British military government to appear under the title "Westfalenpost - Wittgensteienr Nachrichten". Since 1948 the newspaper has had the title Westfalenpost. The collection has been in the city archives from 1946 to the present day. 1950 follows the Westfälische Rundschau, which appears with a local section for Wittgenstein. The local editorial office of the Westfälsichen Rundschau will be closed in 2009. The Siegener Zeitung can be found in the stock of the city archive with the establishment of the local editorial office in 1986. The stock contains the Siegener Zeitung from 1986 until today.
