Today CC Buchner also publishes textbooks for mathematics, chemistry, physics, nature and technology, history, politics, economics and law, ethics, philosophy, religion, art, Italian, Spanish and Chinese.
history
On May 12, 1832, Johann Lorenz Buchner opened a bookstore in Bayreuth and published his first books shortly afterwards. Eight years later he passed the business on to one of his sons, Carl Christian Buchner . In 1850 the company moved to Bamberg, which already had a rail connection. Under CC Buchner's grandson, Wilhelm Ament , who headed the publishing house from 1908–1950, the program was increasingly focused on textbooks. This strategy was underlined in 1928 with the purchase of the school book program from the Nuremberg publishing house Carl Koch. Günter Grünke expanded the schoolbook program from 1950 in the tradition of his father-in-law. Under his son Gunnar Grünke, the company quickly grew into a provider of sophisticated and modern teaching materials recognized throughout the German-speaking area. With Christopher Schell, the publisher's nephew, the seventh generation is now active in the management of the family business.
In addition, a new branch of business was opened in 2013 with the establishment of the children's and youth book publisher Magellan . Both publishers are subsidiaries of the BVG Bamberger VerlagsGruppe with the Grünke and Schell families as shareholders.
