Callwey
Callwey , short for Georg DW Callwey (publisher) GmbH & Co. KG , is a German publishing house with the main focus on structural engineering and architecture .
history
The publishing house was founded in Munich in 1884 by Georg DW Callwey . Callwey publishes in the areas of planning and design for everything to do with the house, lifestyle, living, design, architecture, landscape architecture, handicrafts and restoration.

The Callwey publishing house gained national fame when in 1894 it took over 50% of the shares in the journal Der Kunstwart from Ferdinand Avenarius , which at the time was the leading educational journal for the middle class. Avenarius and Callwey made an important contribution to cultural history up to the beginning of the First World War in 1914. Her writings, many of which were published for the Dürerbund , had a great influence on the upbringing of young people, especially students and elementary school teachers, and were part of the life reform movement . In 1996 Laterna Magica Verlag , which specialized in books on the practice of photography, was taken over. The program has since been discontinued.
Callwey-Verlag is run by the fourth generation of the Baur-Callwey family.
