Does anyone know if archives in Trier or near there have newspapers from the region that were published in the early 19th C or before? Thomas Kohn

Hello, In the Stadtarchiv/Stadtbibliothek Trier you`ll find the newspapers "Trierischer Volksfreund" from the beginning (1878) on and the "Trierische Landeszeitung" (from 1875 to 1974, when it merged with the Volksfreund) . For 100 years, these have been the most important newspapers for the Trier region. They are on a 35 mm film, you can use it on a viewer/printer there after a short technical introduction by the staff If I remember right, one copy costs 1 DM. There where some other, older newpapers in Trier. Don`t know, if they are available in the Stadtarchiv, you have to ask. For more information on newspapers of Trier, have a look at www.125jahretv.de . Go to the pulldown-menu "Die Zeitung", click on "Kurze Trierer Zeitungsgeschichte" and "von der Bleiwueste zum Layout" and you`ll find an overview of Trierer newspaper-history with lots of pictures. I think, this website is interesting for all people interested in the history and life of Trier, we (some students of the department of media science at the university of Trier) did it for the 125 year jubilee for the local newspaper. The adress of the city archive is: Stadtbibliothek Trier / Stadtarchiv Weberbach 25, D-54290 Trier, Telefon: 0049-651-718-2432 For newspapers of the Saar-region you have to look for the "Saarbruecker Zeitung", in the archives of the city of Saarbruecken and for the Mosel/East Eifel and Eastern Hunsrueck region from Cochem to Coblence the newspaper is the "Rhein-Zeitung", you can find old copies in the archive of the city of coblence. Old copies of the "Paulinus", the newspaper of the diocese Trier (~ 1870 until now) can be found in the archive of the diocese Adress: Bistumsarchiv Trier Jesuitenstraße 13b D-54290 Trier Regards Ernst Mettlach Trier/Germany ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 1:25 PM Subject: [TRIER-ROOTS-L] Archives of newspapers written in 19th C > Does anyone know if archives in Trier or near there have newspapers from the > region that were published in the early 19th C or before? > > Thomas Kohn > > > ==== TRIER-ROOTS Mailing List ==== > Going on vacation longer than 4 days?
