The newspaper was first published in 1951 as the Deutsche Soldaten-Zeitung, came under Frey's control in 1959, was renamed Deutsche National-Zeitung und Soldaten-Zeitung in 1960–61 and Deutsche National-Zeitung in 1963. In 1999 the newspaper was merged with another of Frey's publications, the Deutsche Wochen-Zeitung – Deutscher Anzeiger, and became the National-Zeitung. It lasted under this name for 20 years until December 2019 when it stopped publishing.[4]
The Bavarian Office for the Protection of the Constitution classified the National-Zeitung as propagating a xenophobic, nationalist and revisionist world view.
