Rostock is one of the earliest centres of newspaper publishing in Germany. There is evidence of a newspaper published by the town council printer Moritz Sachs in 1625/26. The oldest surviving copy of a local newspaper dates from 1640. In 1711, the “Curieuse Extract Derer neuesten Zeitungen” was published. The printer Johann Jakob Adler began the continuous publication of a newspaper in 1725. From 1752 to 1850, the council printer Anton Ferdinand Röse published the “Wöchentlichen Nachrichten und Anzeigen”. In addition, academic journals had been in circulation since the 18th century, largely due to the presence of the university. The “Rostocker Zeitung” emerged in 1846 from the first periodical newspaper, the “Auszug der Neuesten Zeitungen” (1711). In 1881, the “Rostocker Anzeiger” was founded, which went on to become the highest-circulation daily newspaper in the state.
