Poczta Królewiecka

The newspaper was published in Königsberg, Kingdom of Prussia, from 6 April 1718 to 28 December 1720.

[2] Information on Germany came in the form of translations from German language press such as Koenigliche Preusssische Fama, while the news from Poland was mostly original reporting.

[2] It was published on a weekly basis, and primarily included news from Europe, with the focus on the Polish and German lands.

[2] It was published by Jan Dawid Cenkier (Johann David Zäncker), and editors included two Poles, the priest Jerzy Rekuć and lawyer Stefan Büschel (first name also given as Georg or Jerzy, second name as Byszel, Bisselius).

It is likely that the newspaper did not achieve the desired profitability, as the number of subscribers, particularly in Poland, did not grow fast enough, possibly due to the fact that the newspaper represented a Calvinist point of view, whereas majority of the Poles in Prussia represented other branches of Protestantism, and in Poland, Catholicism.
