Dresdner Anzeiger
The ''Dresdner Anzeiger'' was probably the oldest, and in any case the longest (1730–1945) existing daily newspaper in Dresden. The intellectual originator was the council auctioneer , who on 30 March 1730 petitioned the king and elector Augustus II the Strong to give him the privilege for a weekly pennysaver, a "Frage- und Antwort-Zettul". The background to this was that Crell had already been writing handwritten news as the first periodical publications in Dresden from 1714 onwards.Gabriela B. Christmann: ''Dresdens Glanz, Stolz der Dresdner''. Deutscher Universitäts-Verlag, Wiesbaden 2004, . Numerized/ref> Even before a decision was made, the bookseller and pastor's son Gottlob Christian Hilscher (1705–1748) had also submitted a request to the King and Elector on 20 August 1730, and was also granted the privilege at short notice. On 1 September 1730, he published the paper ''Der Königl. Pohln. Churfürstl. Sächsischen Residentz-Stadt Dreßden Wöchentlicher Anzeiger o ...
