is a German tabloid newspaper published in Berlin by Ullstein-Verlag, a subsidiary of Axel Springer AG.

is, like Bild and Die Welt, ultimately owned by the Axel Springer company and adheres to its political remit.

In 2006 Axel Springer outsourced the newspaper to a company of its own, B.Z.-Ullstein, in order to increase profitability in the highly competitive Berlin market.

The outsourcing entailed a move of the paper's editorial headquarters from Springer-Haus [de] in Kreuzberg to the Kurfürstendamm.

A special sports edition of the paper, Sport-B.Z., was introduced for the 2006 FIFA World Cup and distributed from August of that year with a circulation of 50,000, but was discontinued on 22 December 2006.
