M. DuMont Schauberg

M. DuMont Schauberg is one of Germany's oldest and largest publishing houses. It was founded by Bertram Hilden in 1620.[2] The company has been run by the Neven du Mont family since 1805, when Marcus du Mont acquired the Kölnische Zeitung – then the business's main newspaper. M. DuMont Schauberg has acquired numerous local and national newspapers and magazines. DuMont Schauberg's father, Kurt Neven DuMont, was a member of the German Nazi party, while his publishing house promoted Nazi ideology.[3]

The company's headquarters is located in Cologne. The largest newspaper published by M. DuMont Schauberg is the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger, published since 1876. It has the largest circulation in the Cologne/Bonn Region.[4]

On October 1, 2020, the media group gave itself a new structure under company law. In this restructuring, DuMont wants to transform itself from a consortium into a group of companies. In the process, a separate advisory board was created for the Regional Media business unit. This includes shareholder and supervisory board chairwoman Isabella Neven DuMont, DuMont CEO Christoph Bauer, and CFO Stefan Hütwohl; in addition, since 2021, media managers Britta Weddeling (Marvel Fusion) and Katja Nettesheim (Mediate and Culcha).[5]
