Schlesische Zeitung

It was founded in 1742 by the Breslau publisher and bookseller Johann Jacob Korn (1702–1756).

[1] Korn was granted the newspaper concession by Frederick II of Prussia after Prussia seized power in Silesia.

The paper and the publishing house were continued by his son Wilhelm Gottlieb Korn [de] (1739–1806).

[2] On 3 January 1742, Korn published a new newspaper under the title Schlesischer Nouvellen-Couriter.

[1][3] In 1848 the paper's title was changed to Schlesische Zeitung.
