Life
Hanser grew up in Rastatt, where his parents ran a clothing store. From September 1911 he attended the Ludwig-Wilhelm-Gymnasium there. In the first year of school he had significant absenteeism and consequently only below average performance. In the school year 1914/15 he was only 30th among the 37 students of the year. Then his track is lost in Rastatt. From 1916/17 there are no further indications of attending school in the Rastatt grammar school.
On July 6, 1926, he married Liselotte Alberts from Krefeld . In the corresponding marriage announcement, which was published in the Rastatt local newspaper, his address is already given as Munich . In 1928 he completed his studies in philosophy in Freiburg / Breisgau with a doctorate on the philosopher Hermann Lotze under Edmund Husserl as Dr. phil. and also completed an apprenticeship in bookselling. Hanser was a member of the Cimbria country team . In 1928 he founded Carl Hanser Verlag in Munich, the first publishing product was the novel Die Liebe des Nikolai Pereslegin by Fedor Stepun . As an economic basis for fiction , Hanser first established a specialist book and specialist magazine publisher, which initially covered the areas of mechanical engineering , metal processing and materials science ; later the fields of dentistry , economics, chemical technology, plastics, electrical engineering , data processing , nuclear energy technology and biotechnology were added.
In 1946, Hanser was one of the first Munich publishers to resume publishing activities with an American license. He strengthened the fiction program with annotated classical editions (including Gotthold Ephraim Lessing , Friedrich Schiller , Jean Paul and Theodor Fontane ) and contemporary literature (including Erich Fried , Elias Canetti , Umberto Eco , Stephan Hermlin , Botho Strauss , Philip Roth , Susan Sontag or Elke Heidenreich ). In 1946 he was one of the founders of the Bavarian Publishers and Booksellers Association and in the early years also its deputy chairman. 1949–51 Hanser was head of the German book trade association. In 1969 the publishing house was converted into a limited partnership . In 1976 Hanser retired from the management.
