The Karin Kramer Verlag ( KKV ) was an anarchist publisher in Berlin-Neukölln . It was run by Karin Kramer and Bernd Kramer until 2014.

History and publishing program

Forerunners of the publishing house were publications on the international workers and council movement , which were published as an " underground magazine". Karin and Bernd Kramer, who were living in the linkeck commune in Berlin at the time, were also involved in the publication of the linkeck newspaper , which appeared in 1968 . 1970 or 1972 (contradicting sources) the publishing house was founded with the translation of Bakunin's statehood and anarchy . In the first few years there were books on the anarchist classics (Bakunin, Kropotkin , Malatesta , Landauer , Mühsam ) and on anti-authoritarian education ( Wilhelm Reich , Erich Fromm , Siegfried Bernfeld ). The anarchist- epistemological journal Unter dem Pflaster lies der Strand , edited by Hans Peter Duerr with contributions by Murray Bookchin , Noam Chomsky , Hans Magnus Enzensberger , Paul Goodman and many others, was published by Kramer from 1974 to 1985.

In addition to anarchist and radical left-wing writings and works, the publisher also published titles on art, city history, literature and poetry, as well as the writings of the LernNetz Berlin-Brandenburg association, which is supported by the city of Berlin and its job centers .

Karin Kramer died on March 20, 2014 at the age of 74. She succumbed to the consequences of cancer in a Berlin hospital. Bernd Kramer died of cancer on September 5, 2014, also at the age of 74. Bert Papenfuß described Karin Kramer Verlag in an obituary for Bernd and Karin Kramer as his favorite publisher. The publisher's archive is in the library of the free in the House of Democracy and Human Rights .
