Lübecker Nachrichten
regional daily newspaper for North-East Germany
The Lübecker Nachrichten (LN; German for Lübeck News) is a regional daily newspaper in Germany, covering Schleswig-Holstein and western Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. It is, along with the Schleswig-Holsteinischer Zeitungsverlag and the Kieler Nachrichten, one of the largest daily newspapers in Schleswig-Holstein.
LN is published daily in print and online (as an e-paper) except on Mondays and days after holidays. Since August, 2022 it is also published as an e-paper on Mondays. It was formed in 1946 from the Lübecker General-Anzeiger founded in 1832 (Lübeck General-Gazette), a title it still uses for its local Lübeck supplement.
The paper is published by Lübecker Nachrichten GmbH, headquartered in the Buntekuh district of Lübeck and is majority owned by Verlagsgesellschaft Madsack GmbH & Co. KG.
Editor-in-chief is Rüdiger Ditz.

Why this record matters
The phrase “regional daily newspaper for North-East Germany” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

The linked authority identifier is Q1880147. VIAF identifies the subject as 151130860. 2 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
