The Carl Heymann Verlag GmbH is a specialist legal publisher based in Cologne , which the media company Wolters Kluwer is one.
On October 1st, 1815 , at the age of 23 , Carl Heymann founded a bookstore in Glogau (Silesia). He later expanded the bookstore to include a publisher. In 1835 he moved to Berlin . In 1846 Heymann was awarded the title of Kommerzienrat by the Prussian king. The publishing house began with the publication of decision collections of the highest Prussian courts. Heymann died in 1862.
In 1871 his grandson Otto Löwenstein took over the publishing house. Publishing activities were concentrated on law and administration. In 1918 Anni Gallus, Otto Löwenstein's adopted daughter, became the owner of the publishing house. In 1945 the head office in Berlin was destroyed. In 1950 the publishing house took its headquarters first in Detmold and then in Cologne . In addition, branches are set up in Berlin , Munich and Bonn .
Collections of decisions by the highest federal courts (e.g. BGHZ , BGHSt , BVerwGE, BSGE ) became a focus of the publishing program.
In 1986, after the death of his father Hans-Jörg Gallus, Bertram Gallus took over the management of the publishing house. In 2004 Andreas Gallus took over the management after the death of his uncle Bertram Gallus. In 2006 the publishing house was sold to the Dutch media group Wolters Kluwer and converted into a GmbH. Ulrich Hermann and Christoph Knauer were appointed as managing directors. Since then, Carl Heymanns Verlag has been a brand of Wolters Kluwer Germany.
