What Singener Wochenblatt GmbH & Co. KG Verlag does

Singener Wochenblatt GmbH & Co. KG Verlag is a private German regional media company that publishes the weekly WOCHENBLATT newspaper, founded in 1967 and headquartered in Singen, Baden-Württemberg. The company serves the Singen, Hegau, Radolfzell, Stockach, Konstanz, and Schaffhausen regions with a combined print and digital product portfolio, reaching approximately 18 employees across editorial, commercial, and IT functions. Its core product is the weekly print edition, distributed via a home-delivery (Zustellung) network, complemented by a digital E-Paper and the wochenblatt.net news website.

The underlying technology is a standard content management system for regional newspaper publishing, paired with a website, E-Paper platform, and a dedicated media library (Mediathek) hosting photo galleries and historical local content. Ancillary products include the Mittwoch-News weekly email newsletter, the Kleinanzeigen classifieds portal, the Stellenanzeigen job listings platform, the Familienanzeigen family-announcement service, and the WasWannWo.tips event and leisure portal. The company also operates a standalone jobs portal at jobs.wochenblatt.net.

The business model is a hybrid of advertising, subscription, and transaction-fee revenue. Recurring revenue comes from print and E-Paper subscriptions delivered to households in the regional coverage area. Transactional revenue is generated from classifieds, job listings, and family announcements sold to individuals and local businesses. Advertising revenue is derived from commercial display advertising and free club announcements (Vereinsmeldungen) treated as community service. The GTM motion is sales-led, with direct sales to local businesses and individuals for advertising and listings, paired with home delivery and self-serve E-Paper for consumer reach.
