History
On 29 January 1837, two Schwäbisch Gmünd booksellers, Johannes Raach and Philip Jakob Andreas Buck, founded Aalen's first newspaper, the Bote von Aalen. In 1853, Ludwig Gottlob Stierlin was awarded the publication rights for the Bote von Aalen:Amts- und Intelligenz-Blatts Oberamtsbezirk Aalen, renamed to Kocherzeitung in 1873.
In 1933, the National Socialist Press (NS Presse) became the majority shareholder under Gleichschaltung. They renamed the paper Kocher- und Nationalzeitung. The final issue was printed on 17 May 1945.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Schwäbische Post” as german newspaper in Baden-Württemberg. 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 german newspaper in Baden-Württemberg. 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 Dec 29, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q2258009. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1837, 1853, 1873 and 1933.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
