history
In 1968, Heinz M. Bleicher and his daughter Evmarie founded the Bleicher Verlag in Gerlingen near Stuttgart . The start-up capital was contracts with the then " Deutsche Postreklame " for the publication of four local telephone books. In addition to the mainstay of telephone and address books , a focus during the founding times was primarily on the publication of books by German-speaking Jewish writers.
With the publication of the address book of the city of Sigmaringen in 1970, the directory publisher was expanded to include an additional product group. To date, there are contracts with 40 cities. At the same time, Heinz M. Bleicher began building up the literary publishing house with his first book projects.
Son Thomas Bleicher joined the publishing house on April 1, 1976. He is a trained bookseller and, as co-managing director, took on responsibility for the literary publisher at the time. Today he is responsible for the address book area and the publication of various special directories.
The German Federal Post awarded in 1983 the publication of the official telephone books to private companies. Bleicher Verlag, together with Deutsche Postreklame, became the publisher for Tübingen , Reutlingen and Zollernalb .
In October 1989 the company moved into the new building of its own publishing house at Weilimdorfer Straße 76. The two-story building with its light-flooded interior is still home to Bleicher Medien today.
In 1991 the bankrupt Lambert Schneider publishing house was taken over. Primarily Judaica of this publisher were distributed, there were also new titles (among others by Martin Buber ). For economic reasons, the entire literary publishing division of Bleicher Verlag was given up in 2002.
On March 9, 2005, the founder of the publishing house, Heinz M. Bleicher, died. From now on, management is entirely in the hands of his two children, Thomas Bleicher and Evmarie Bartolitius.
On July 1, 2012, Thomas Bleicher's son René joined the publishing house after completing business administration and sales training. He works primarily in the directory media division. The Bleicher Media branch of business is also being set up under his leadership; as an internet agency, it focuses specifically on the subject of internet presence and online marketing . In 2014 he received power of attorney .
At the end of 2014, the TV Studios Leonberg was purchased. With this, Bleicher Verlag is expanding its range to include advertising films and live broadcasts . Son Sebastian Bartolitius, a trained film and media designer, became the managing director of TV studios.
At the same time as the publishing house was renamed "Bleicher Medien" in 2016, the TV studios were integrated into the Bleicher company building. Bleicher Medien took part in the acquisition of Deutsche Tele Medien GmbH and thereby became a partner in the company.
