history
It has been run as a GmbH since 1979 and as a holding company since 1993, where the ÖBV Pädagogische Verlag was part of it as a separate company. This publisher was merged in 1998 with the publishers Hölder-Pichler-Tempsky and the Austrian commercial publisher to form öbv & hpt Verlagsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG. The holding company also includes Deuticke Verlag , the Perlen series , Residenz Verlag and Brandstätter Verlag. There are still holdings in the children's book publisher Esslinger JF Schreiber and in the CJBucher Verlag.
In 2002 the federal publisher was privatized and sold to the German Ernst Klett Verlag , which in turn sold the Residenz Verlag to the Lower Austrian Press House.
In March 2007, the Glöckler family ( Hölder-Pichler-Tempsky , Verlag für Schule und Wissenschaft) sold their 47 percent stake in the Austrian school book publisher öbvhpt Verlagsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG to the Austrian Federal Publishing House (Klett publishing group), which previously held 53 percent . The Hölder-Pichler-Tempsky publishing house received the book titles for the vocational sector from this separation. The G&G children's and youth book publisher (also owned by the Glöckler family) took over the area of learning aids from öbvhpt.
