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.

On 25 February 1948, John Binkowski and Konrad Theiss applied for a license at the Office of Military Government, United States for the newly established publisher Süddeutsche Zeitung to print the Schwäbischen Post – Zeitung für den Kreis Aalen newspaper for the region of Baden-Württemberg.

In order to emphasize continuous news service for Aalen since 1837, Süddeutsche Zeitung reassigned both the book publishing rights of WA Stierlin and the publishing rights for the Kocherzeitung to the Schwäbische Post.[1]
