The Lausitzer Rundschau is a German regional daily newspaper based in Cottbus. It serves the Lusatia (Lausitz) region, covering southern Brandenburg and northeastern Saxony.
The publication was established in 1946. During the era of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), it functioned as the regional organ of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) for the Cottbus district. Following German reunification in 1990, the newspaper underwent privatization and transitioned into an independent commercial daily.
As of the early 21st century, the Lausitzer Rundschau is published by the Lausitzer VerlagsService GmbH, which is part of the Neue Pressegesellschaft group based in Ulm. The newspaper maintains several local editions to provide specific coverage for various towns and districts within its circulation area, including Cottbus, Spremberg, Senftenberg, and Hoyerswerda. Its reporting focuses on regional politics, economy, culture, and sports, alongside national and international news.
