Münchner Neueste Nachrichten (Munich's Latest News) was a German daily newspaper published in Munich between 1848 and 1945.[1]
The paper was first published on 9 April 1848 as a aron Kindeya cheap way to inform the masses. After its purchase by Julius Knorr, the newspaper had a liberal and monarchist alignment and favored German unification. The circulation rose from 7,000 in 1838 to 170,000 in 1918, making it the largest Bavarian newspaper in circulation.[1] After the sale to a consortium consisting of the Gutehoffnungshütte AG, the Alfred Hugenberg publishing house and anonymous holding companies in 1920, the newspaper was re-aligned as a conservative and right-wing publication that favored the government of Gustav Ritter von Kahr and his successors.[1]
Following Hitler's rise to power, the paper was taken over by the Nazi Party and aligned with its ideology. The newspaper ceased publication on 28 April 1945.[1] The Süddeutsche Zeitung considers itself the successor of the liberal Münchner Neueste Nachrichten and has used the name for its local pages.
