Nürtinger Zeitung

What Nürtinger Zeitung does

Nürtinger Zeitung is a regional German daily newspaper founded around 1831 and published by Senner Verlag GmbH, headquartered at Carl-Benz-Straße 1 in Nürtingen, Baden-Württemberg. It serves the residents of Nürtingen, Wendlingen, Landkreis Esslingen, and Landkreis Reutlingen, and additionally acts as the official gazette (Amtsblatt) for Landkreis Esslingen and Stadt Nürtingen, giving it a regulated role in publishing municipal announcements. The Managing Director is Markus Krichenbauer, with Kai Müller heading the local editorial desk.

The company's core offering is the digital news portal ntz.de, complemented by a digital E-Paper, print home-delivery subscriptions, and a premium NTZ+ tier that gates exclusive local articles behind a €7.90 monthly subscription or €2.90 per single article. The product surface also includes reader travel (Leserreisen), classifieds (Kleinanzeigen), obituary notices (Traueranzeigen), and a regional job board (NeckarFilsJOBS). The technology stack is a web-based CMS with e-paper delivery, third-party analytics (Matomo, Google Analytics 4, ABlyft), accessibility tooling via Web Inclusion's Eye-Able, and consent-managed advertising through Traffective, ID5, and Meta's Facebook Pixel.

Nürtinger Zeitung monetizes through four streams: recurring print and digital subscriptions (NTZ+ and bundled packages), display and sponsored-content advertising (with Volksbank Mittlerer Neckar and Medius Kliniken as named sponsors of dedicated finance and health sections), ancillary reader services (travel, classifieds, obituaries, recruitment), and reader-event ticketing via Reservix. Distribution combines self-serve digital channels (ntz.de, E-Paper, newsletter) with a traditional print Zustellservice across the regional catchment, while social media (Facebook, Instagram) supports top-of-funnel reach.
