Hildesheimer Allgemeine Zeitung

Germany, 1705 (as the Hildesheimer Relations-Courier) First published on June 24, 1705, this Lower Saxony daily is regarded as the oldest surviving newspaper in Germany. When the Wiener Zeitung gave up daily print in 2023, it named Hildesheim as the paper that takes over its old standing among general dailies still on paper. It is a regional title rather than a national voice, which is part of its appeal for anyone who likes local history: more than three centuries of one town's news, still printed and now online as well.
