Die Welt was founded in Hamburg in 1946 by the British occupying forces, aiming to provide a "quality newspaper" modelled on The Times. It originally carried news and British-viewpoint editorial content, but from 1947 it adopted a policy of providing two leading articles on major questions, one British and one German.
The 1993 circulation of the paper was 209,677 copies. At its peak in the occupation period, it had a circulation of around a million.
