Court decides on issue of Berliner Zeitung

Posted by Ulrike Trux on October 28, 2004 at 3:52 PM

According to Netzeitung the higher regional court in Dusseldorf has denied the complaint of Holtzbrinck Publishing against the decision taken by the German office of trust earlier this year. The union of Holtzbrinck with Berliner Zeitung violates, as announced by the court, open competition in the market, since Holtzbrinck would enjoy a predominant position on the market of regional newspapers. Berliner Zeitung is the largest newspaper in the region of Berlin/Brandenburg with an average circulation of 180.488 readers on weekdays and 200.461 readers on weekends. The Holtzbrinck Publishing Group currently encompasses six regional papers, and, more prominently Die Zeit, Wirtschaftswoche, and Handelsblatt.
