The Zytglogge Verlag [ ˈtsitˌɡlɔkə ] is a Swiss publisher .
It was founded in 1965 in Bern by Hugo Ramseyer and Rolf Attenhofer in what was then Theater am Zytglogge . It emerged in the context of the small theater scene in Bern and initially published records by local songwriters, the so-called Bern Troubadours , and from 1968 on Emil Steinberger's cabaret programs .
The program is broad and includes modern Swiss literature (e.g. Gerhard Meier , but also Beni Thurnheer and Gisela Widmer ), dialect literature ( Ernst Burren ), non-fiction ( Urs Frauchiger , Helmut Hubacher , Bruno Manser , Hans A. Pestalozzi , Ernst Sieber ), Work books for school, children's books and song books ( Linard Bardill , Lukas Hartmann , Peter Reber ), illustrated and comic books and - still - sound carriers: songwriters, cabaret, folk, rock, children's stories, audio books ( Franz Hohler , Mani Matter ; die first records by Patent Ochsner and Stiller Has ). Around 20 books and 15 phonograms are released every year.
The publishing house has been organized as a stock corporation since 1969, whereby in addition to the two publishing directors Hugo Ramseyer and Bettina Kaelin Ramseyer, every employee can also purchase shares. Until 2003 the publishing house was in Gümligen near Bern, then in Oberhofen am Thunersee . In August 2014, the publisher's founder announced that he would stop at the end of 2014. The Schwabe AG took over on July 1, 2015, the majority of shares in Zytglogge Verlag, which will continue to operate independently under its existing name. The publishing house was relocated to Basel.
