The Deutsche Klassiker Verlag was founded on July 1, 1981 as a subsidiary of Insel Verlag by Siegfried Unseld. The publisher was managed by Gottfried Honnefelder , the editing was headed by Wolfgang Kaußen . The publisher was to edit editions of works and collections of epochs of classic German literature from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. The 40-volume Goethe edition and the 12-volume Schiller edition are particularly noteworthy . All volumes contain a detailed commentary that makes up 30 to 40 percent of the total volume. The library of German classics was published here between 1985 and 2013 .
Rolf Staudt was responsible for the typographical arrangement and the decoration of the volumes. The volumes were bound in blue linen and red leather . The linen volumes were available in six shades of blue, coordinated with one another according to the time the title was created, and were printed on non-aging thin printing paper (Persia K) specially developed for the library .
The series Deutscher Klassiker Verlag has been published in paperback since October 2005 .
