The school book publisher Anadolu or Anadolu Verlag ( Anadolu Turkish for "Anatolia") is a publishing house founded in 1977 in Hückelhoven for Turkish school books and multilingual children's books. The family business is the first Turkish school book publisher ever to be founded in Germany.
The company's founder, Ahmet Celik, who came to Germany in 1971 as a Turkish teacher, brought his own experience to bear in his publishing work from the start. These were based on unsuitable teaching aids for learning the Turkish language in what was then known as the mother tongue lessons , which were offered at German schools in order to keep the possibility of returning to their home country open to the children in terms of language.
For some time now, Anadolu has been one of the few German publishers to publish a number of bilingual children's books in Turkish and German in addition to school books that are used at home and abroad (including the USA and Australia ). This is intended to support bilingual language acquisition for children of Turkish origin. The article portfolio now amounts to around 600 books, including 150 bilingual children's books and 350 school books.
Other languages have been added to the program, such as E.g .: German-English, German-Russian, German-Arabic, German-Italian, German-Spanish, German-French, German-Polish, German-BKS (Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian) and Turkish-Swedish.
In addition, the publisher also publishes cultural books such as Nazim Hikmet , Ebru , books about Ataturk and procures all available books from Turkey as well as all kinds of teaching aids.
