With 40,820 paid subscriptions in 2012,[1] it is the newspaper with the highest circulation in the district of Tübingen.
The Tübingen editorial and local news from field offices in Rottenburg am Neckar (Rottenburg Post), Mössingen (Steinlach-Bote) and Reutlingen make up only the part of the daily newspaper that reports on the region of Neckar-Alb.
For the outer national portion (Mantel), Ulm-based Südwest Presse is used, which makes up almost 50 percent of the newspaper.
There are about 30 Südwest Presse-associated newspapers, concentrated in Baden-Württemberg, with a small presence in Bavaria.
The publishing house also prints a weekly Anzeigenblatt (free paper), which is very similar to a Pennysaver.
