How many stories does a newspaper hold? Here at the Unternehmensgruppe Aschendorff, that’s not a rhetorical question, it’s their legacy. The Unternehmensgruppe Aschendorff is more than just a media company. It’s a Münster institution, weaving the threads of local life into a tapestry of news for almost 300 years. Founded in 1720 by Wilhelm Aschendorff as a humble bookstore, it blossomed into a printing powerhouse, bringing forth the “Westfälische Nachrichten” in 1946. This wasn’t just any newspaper, it rose from the ashes of World War II, printed initially in Oelde because their Münster presses were destroyed. Today, the Unternehmensgruppe Aschendorff goes beyond the printed word. They embrace the digital age with websites, apps, and social media, keeping the Münsterland connected. The Unternehmensgruppe Aschendorff isn’t just reporting the story of Münster, they are a chapter in it.
