history

Peter Pim & Billy Ball - English textbook for elementary school students published in 1948

Cornelsen Verlag was founded in 1946 in Berlin by Franz Cornelsen and his wife Hildegard , the author of the English textbook Peter Pim and Billy Ball . Since the 1970s he has secured his position mainly by taking over competitors (Hirschgraben, W. Girardet, Schwann-Bagel, Kamp and, most recently, Oldenbourg ). After the fall of the Wall in 1989, Cornelsen also took over the Volk und Wissen Verlag , which was founded in Berlin and Leipzig in 1945 and in which almost all school books in the GDR were published. This was incorporated into the Cornelsen publishing group in 1991; Since January 1st, 2004 the employees of both publishers have been working together in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. In 2011 Cornelsen Verlag was merged with other leading school book publishers to form Cornelsen Schulverlage GmbH . The publishing program includes 17,000 titles from around 40 disciplines, 1,500 of which are new publications annually.

The company belongs to Franz Cornelsen Bildungsholding GmbH & Co. KG.

Digital media

At the didacta 2014 presented Cornelsen online platform Scook ago. On the website, teachers can use the online edition of a textbook to plan lessons and access all of the teaching materials. In February 2011, LernCoachies.de, an online learning portal was opened that is based on the in-house textbooks for grades 4 to 7.

In addition to books, children's games and educational software as well as a series of games under the name "Genius" (including the game Genius company physics ) were published.

At the beginning of 2015, Cornelsen Verlag founded the corporate startup Duden Learnattack, an online learning portal for schoolchildren from the 5th grade to the Abitur. It offers learning videos, interactive exercises and sample class work as well as WhatsApp tutoring in nine subjects.

In June 2017, Cornelsen took over the mBook project developed by the Institute for Digital Learning and thus part of the company. With the newly founded Cornelsen mBook GmbH, the publisher is expanding its range of digital and multimedia school books.
