In 1889 it was founded as a daily newspaper in Shanghai. Herr von Gundlach originally edited the paper. Bruno Navarra succeeded Gundlach as the editor.), served from 1900 to 1917. Fink changed the newspaper into a weekly. As
World War I broke out, difficulty increased in circulating the
Der Ostasiatische Lloyd to other countries, and the demand in China for news from Germany had increased. The editors of the
Der Ostasiatische Lloyd started the
Deutsche Zeitung für China to cope with the demand. Walravens said that the new paper was "successful". There was an unrelated publication that was originally named the
Deutsche Shanghai Zeitung and later renamed
Der Ostasiatische Lloyd. That publication was associated with the
Nazi Party. It was renamed and reorganized in January 1936 so it could benefit from the reputation of the previous
Der Ostasiatische Lloyd. ==See also==
