Süddeutsche Zeitung Newspaper Information

The Süddeutsche Zeitung, published in Munich, is the largest German national subscription daily newspaper. On October 6, 1945, five months after the end of World War II in Germany, the SZ was the first newspaper to receive a license from the U.S. military administration of Bavaria. The first issue was published the same evening. The first article begins with: For the first time since the collapse of the brown rule of terror, a newspaper run by Germans is published in Munich. It is limited by the political necessities of our days, but it is not bound by censorship, nor gagged by constraints of conscience.

The circulation is 442,000, reaching over 1.1 million readers daily, making SZ the largest broadsheet daily published in German. Forty correspondents report from Germany and abroad.
