The tz was founded in 1968 as a spin-off of the Münchner Merkur. From 1968 to 1970, the well-known television broadcast journalist Erich Helmensdorfer was the first editor of the paper.[2] In 1982, the Westphalian publisher Dirk Ippen bought the Münchner Zeitungsverlag, to which the tz belonged also.
Since June 2006, the tz published an online version of the newspaper as tz Live. In February 2008, tz Live was transformed into the multimedia news portal tz-online.de, which since 4 December 2013 can be found under the domain tz.de. With this re-launch the news portal was designed and technically adapted to the needs of mobile internet.
The online editorial team ensures that the portal is filled with actual daily news. The thematic focus is on local news from Munich and Upper Bavaria, as well as sports and boulevard topics.
