The German-language daily was published by publisher and printer Théophile Schroell (1829-1893). The paper was taken over by his son Émile Schroell and Batty Weber (1860-1940) became editor-in-chief, until the paper was converted into a limited company in 1922. Thereafter, Batty Weber continued to be responsible for the cultural pages and the feuilleton, in particular the daily column called Abreiß-Kalender (1913-1940).

This was one of the most important newspapers in the history of the Luxembourg press. It was published six times a week, with up to two editions a day from 1902.

From 1895, the newspaper published a Sunday supplement, the Sonntags-Blatt. It also temporarily added a humorous Thursday supplement, Humoristische Blätter, and an illustrated travel supplement.
