Münchner Stadtanzeiger
werkly newspaper
The Münchner Stadtanzeiger was a weekly newspaper published in Munich from at least 1936 to 1997. From 1950 to 1997 it was published by the Süddeutsche Verlag. It referred to itself as a Heimatzeitung für die Stadt und den Landkreis Munich (homeland newspaper for the city of Munich and for the district of Munich).
The Münchner Stadtanzeiger was founded by the German journalist Josef Ackermann (1896–1959) who was imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps for several times, who became director of the municipal intelligence service after World War II, and later member of the Senate of Bavaria. From 1959 to 1989 Erich Hartstein (b. 1925) was head of the editorial department. At this time, the newspaper was published twice a week as a supplement of the Süddeutsche Zeitung. In 1997, the content of the newspaper merged into the local news section of the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Münchner Stadtanzeiger” as werkly newspaper. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as werkly newspaper. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1958990. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1936, 1997, 1950 and 1896.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. 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.
