history

The Arete Publishing in 2010 from history and sports scientist Christian Becker in Lower Saxony established in Hildesheim. The publisher's first projects included the publication of the conference proceedings on Politics and Sport and the catalog Aesthetics and Politics - German Sports Photography in the Cold War for the exhibition of the same name. However, that exhibition in the Berlin Reichstag had to be canceled after only one day, as the government district was closed to the public during this time due to terror warnings.

In 2012 the Hildesheim publishing house brought the German-language edition of the successful English book Believe in the Sign onto the market. This Mark Hodkinson football book was named one of the Sports Books of the Year by The Times and The Guardian . In October 2014, Arete Verlag published the biography of the first German decathlon Olympic champion Willi Holdorf under the title The world stands still . At the end of 2016, Hans-Peter Hock presented a book to Arete on the Dresden English Football Club and the beginnings of European football. In it he comes to the justified assumption that the first German soccer game was played according to the rules still valid today at the Johanneum in Lüneburg - not in Braunschweig or Dresden . With Matthias Hunger's title Fußballheimat Franken , published in 2017, the Fußballheimat series , the publisher's first series of books, was created.

The Arete Publishing is a member of the Association of German Book Trade .
