German Agricultural Publishing House Berlin
The VEB Deutscher Landwirtschaftsverlag (DLV), based in Berlin , emerged from the Deutscher Bauernverlag on January 1, 1960 . It quickly developed into the largest agricultural publisher in the GDR .
The publishing house concentrated on books and magazines on the subjects of agriculture , forestry , horticulture and fishing as well as agricultural policy , soil science and small animal breeding . He published textbooks for vocational, technical and university education and published the specialist publications of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences . In addition, popular series such as the paperback series Books for Gardening Friends were published .
In September 1990 the publishing house was converted into a GmbH under the supervision of the Treuhandanstalt . The workforce was reduced to a third and the company headquarters moved from Reinhardtstrasse in Berlin-Mitte to Berlin-Pankow . The publishing program was trimmed to around 30 titles on plants, animals, environmental protection and hunting; Bayerische Landwirtschaftsverlag BLV acquired the widely read magazine Unser Jagd .
In 1992 the DLV became the property of the Passauer Neue Presse , and in 1995 it was resold to the Bayerischer Landwirtschaftsverlag. This merged in 2001 with the Landbuch-Verlag Hannover to form the German Agricultural Publishing House (dlv) .
