Ostsee-Zeitung, local newspaper in Mecklenburg Western Pomerania
The Ostsee-Zeitung is a daily newspaper based in Rostock that publishes news from the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern region and beyond. The headquarters sits on Richard-Wagner-Straße, where journalists and editors work daily to produce the paper in print and online formats.
The newspaper was founded in 1952 in Rostock and remained under state control during East Germany. It passed to Axel Springer publishing after reunification and has been owned by the Madsack group since 2008.
The newspaper shapes local identity in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and residents view it as a reflection of their community's concerns and events. Readers value the focus on regional stories that directly relate to their lives and concerns.
The Rostock office can be reached by phone, email, or fax with separate numbers for editorial and subscription departments. The newspaper's website offers news updates and allows readers to submit feedback or messages.
The newspaper peaked in the 1990s with around 230,000 copies sold daily, a circulation figure that reflected its central role in the region at that time. Although circulation has declined since then, it remains a significant local news source.
