Rhön- und Saalpost 1914-1924

RUS

The newspaper was founded as a Rhön- and Saalpost in 1862 by Max Josef Mayer, who came from Regensburg. This led the newspaper in a liberal spirit, as the Neustädter Time war in 1869 with the newspaper: The Bavarian Fatherland. In the context of the elections taking place in the Kingdom of Bavaria, publishers and the newspaper took up the position of progressive forces, defending the Jewish fellow-citizens.

In 1893, Mayer's stepson Gallus Rötter took over the management of the publishing house after the death of the newspaper founder. It appeared throughout, except for the years 1945-1949. The majority of the other Lower Franconian newspapers had long since ceased to exist.

Until 2008 the newspaper remained family-owned. Then the newspaper was sold to a Berlin finance company. The commercial printing shop was founded in 2011 as an independent company Rötter-Print. In 2012 the 150th anniversary of the newspaper was celebrated.
