The paper focuses on news in Hamburg and area, and produces regional supplements with news from Norderstedt, Ahrensburg, Harburg, and Pinneberg. Politically the paper is mildly conservative, but usually pro-government, including during SPD administrations. Four previous Hamburg newspapers had the word "Abendblatt" ("Evening Newspaper") in their title, including one named the "Hamburger Abendblatt", founded on 2 May 1820. This incarnation of the "Hamburger Abendblatt", however, was first published after World War II beginning on 14 October 1948 with an initial edition of 60,000 copies.
