History

The Berliner Abendblatt first appeared on October 2, 1991, initially only in the then East Berlin districts of Pankow/Weißensee, Mitte/Friedrichshain, Treptow/Köpenick, and Marzahn/Hellersdorf. The Prenzlauer Berg and Lichtenberg/Hohenschönhausen issues followed in the same month. In 1996, the Berliner Abendblatt began to publish issues for Reinickendorf, Neukölln, Tempelhof, Spandau and Steglitz/Zehlendorf in the former western part of the city. Between 1996 and 2001, additional local editions were added continuously. Currently, there are 23 editions, which roughly correspond to the 23 Berlin districts before the administrative reform in 2001.
