Augsburger Allgemeine Newspaper Information

The Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung is a major German regional daily newspaper published since 1945. The newspaper was first published on 30 October 1945 under the name of Schwäbische Landeszeitung, under the initiative of Curt Frenzel. Originally, due to the restrictions in early post-war Germany, it was only published twice-weekly. Frenzel had received a licence to publish a newspaper from Colonel Bernhard MacMahon of the US military government in Bavaria.

In the second quarter of 2008, the newspaper sold 344,537 copies. From 1807 to 1882, a Allgemeine Zeitung was published in Augsburg but it is not connected to the later newspaper.
