2009
M. DuMont Schauberg (MDS) reorganised its
structure as of 1st January 2009 to adapt to the growth of the
company. The Cologne division had previously run the operative
business of the Cologne site and had simultaneously provided
meta-level services for the whole group. The new structure now
provides a clear separation. The M. DuMont Schauberg media group,
as the holding company, is responsible for overall strategy,
managing the subsidiaries and for controlling the group's
finances. The Cologne division has since been transformed into an
independent company and now operates under the name Verlag M.
DuMont Schauberg Expedition der Kölnischen Zeitung GmbH &
Co. KG. The corporate divisions in Halle, Frankfurt, Berlin/Hamburg
and other affiliates are already independent operative units
today.

The M. DuMont Schauberg (MDS) media group has
taken over the German activities of the British Mecom Group. Among
other things, these include the newspapers "Berliner
Zeitung", "Berliner Kurier" and "Hamburger
Morgenpost", the city guide "Tip" and the Internet
daily "Netzeitung". Heinen-Verlag GmbH holds a 35 percent
stake in Presse- und Medienhaus Berlin (PMB).
