The publisher of the newspaper as well as its regional editions and headlines is the Oberbayerisches Volksblatt GmbH & Co Medienhaus KG,[2] headquartered in Rosenheim.

In Upper Bavaria, new newspapers were licensed by the U.S. only in Munich, Ingolstadt, Rosenheim, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bad Reichenhall.

On October 8, 1945, the new Rosenheimer daily entitled Oberbayerisches Volksblatt was approved by the U.S. military government in Munich.

This traditional daily newspaper was founded in 1854 by the Munich-based printer Erasmus Huber in Wasserburg as Rosenheimer Wochenblatt.

In the same year, Michael Niedermayr from Altenbeuern acquired the Rosenheimer Anzeiger, which appeared in 1875 as a daily newspaper.
