In 1870 Joseph Lorenz Bucher bought a printing company in Lucerne .

Until after the Second World War, Bucher mainly published magazines - including a. a. the Lucerne latest news , specialist journals and commissioned productions.
Alice Bucher took over the company in 1941 and expanded its publishing activities from the 1950s onwards. 1956 began with the color picture book Greece , which appeared as a co-production in seven countries simultaneously, the publication of travel picture books and illustrated non-fiction books. In the 1960s, the illustrated non-fiction books The Kingdom of the Horse , and photo books such as the men and the German living room appeared . The series Bucher's miniatures in 1976 comprised 38 volumes, Example The Rhine in poetry and color photographs .
In 1981 the publishing house moved to Munich.
