history

1936-1945

Rudolf Bohmann (1902–1975) founded the industrial and specialist publishing house named after him at Doblhoffgasse 5 in Vienna in 1936 in cooperation with his father-in-law's Thalia printing company. In the combination of printing and publishing activities, the businessman and technician Rudolf Bohmann saw the opportunity to create a type of company with special future opportunities and crisis resistance.

One of the first magazines that the young publisher brought out in 1937, the “Archive for Trade and Industry”, names the publisher's target groups to which the company has remained loyal to this day. This was followed by the magazines Montanistische Rundschau , “Petroleum”, “Daily Petroleum Reports”, the guild newspaper “Garage” and more, as well as book titles such as “Montan-Handbuch” or “Petroleum-Vademecum”. Rudolf Bohmann's great interest in contemporary history was reflected in the publishing of Julius Tandler's travelogue “People in China” and Benedikt Kautsky's “Germany - England”, a statement on the fleet agreement between the two states, which at the time caused much sensation and contradiction .

1945–1955

After the end of the war, Bohmann had to join the military from 1940 to 1945, new tasks and challenges awaited the publisher. In addition to the industrial and specialist publishing house, which he still owns alone, Bohmann founded the Austrian specialist magazine publishing house with the owners of the renowned Manz publishing house, Robert and Walter Stein. This publishing house created magazines for information, training and further education of industries that the reactivated Austrian economy urgently needed, for example magazines for shoemakers, clothes makers, mechanics, locksmiths, plumbers, knitters, weavers, washers, chemical cleaners, dyers, Garage and gas station owners, rail travelers, architects, for steel construction, for fire brigades, the cable car industry, foundries, the real estate industry.

1955-1976

The end of the occupation also led to renewed optimism in the Austrian publishing industry. Bohmann-Verlag expanded and moved into larger office space in 1955 at Canovagasse 5 in Vienna's first district. As their parent companies also grew, the Stein brothers left the Austrian specialist magazine publisher in 1956. In 1958, the publishing house acquired a printing company at Ungargasse 2 in the third district of Vienna. In 1964, the son of the company's founder, Rudolf Bohmann (1937–2012), became a partner in the merged Bohmann companies. The lawyer and trained typesetter accompanied the establishment of the company and received training in the industry from his father's excellent employees. In 1970 Rudolf Bohmann jun. The "International Trade Newspaper Traffic" and expanded the graphic business. The premises of the Bohmann company in Ungargasse No. 2, No. 4 and No. 6 were no longer sufficient in the following years. In 1975 the company founder dies after a serious illness.

1976-1994

A plot of land was acquired at Leberstrasse 122 in Vienna-Simmering, construction of a new company building began in 1977, and by 1978 the printing machines were running at full speed at the new location. The machine hall was expanded in 1979/80 and a floor was built in 1981/82, so that the Canovagasse publishing office was able to move to Simmering. The company was given public recognition through its right to use the national coat of arms. With its participation in the pilot test of screen text by the Austrian Post in April 1981 and the installation of its own “ New Media ” department, the company was ready for the leap into the media future. In 1984 a children's and youth book publisher was founded with Dachs-Verlag, and in 1985 the book publisher Medusa was taken over. In 1985/86 another extension and a storage deck followed - all of the media company's operations were now united under one roof.

1994-2004

In 1994 the ownership changed. The Dutch company Wolters Kluwer initially invested 70 percent and a few years later 100 percent. In 1995 the book publisher “Jugend und Volk” and the magazine “Monitor” were acquired after the magazine “Eisenbahn” had been parted with in 1994. In 1999 Bohmann-Verlag sold the printing company. After the printing hall had been converted into an open-plan office, the “D&R Verlag”, which was bought in the same year, was able to move there. In 1999/2000 further new acquisitions ("Jakob Schmid Verlag", "V&R Verlag") completed the Bohmann publishing group and moved, as did the "Repro-Media Druckgesellschaft", into the Simmeringer publishing house. The last entrepreneurial decision of the Wolters-Kluwer era can be viewed as the outsourcing of the entire book publishing sector under corporate law.

2004 until today

After ten years of managing the company in the Netherlands, Gabriele Susanne Ambros and Gerhard Milletich acquired Bohmann-Verlag with their "Dietrich Medien Holding" in 2004 and are now managing directors and owners of the company. In 2009 the owners acquired the magazine “Kompetenz” and the non-fiction and specialist book publisher Holzhausen.
