Owners
The newspaper is one of the allied new foundations in the post-World War II era. NSDAP-opponents Karl Arnold, Anton Betz, Erich Wenderoth and (soon resigned) Friedrich Vogel received a British newspaper licence. Nowadays the newspaper belongs to the Arnold, Betz, Droste, Alt and Ebel families (last updated: July 2008).
