history

founding

The Deutsche Verkehrs-Verlag was founded on July 1, 1947 in Heidelberg . The aim was to publish the Deutsche Verkehrs-Zeitung , which first appeared on July 10, 1947. In 1948 the company moved to Hamburg .

prehistory

However, the origins of DVZ and Deutsche Verkehrs-Verlag go back further. The publisher and printer Guilleaume (Wilhelm) Brichet published the 'Hamburg-Altonaer Warren-Import List' in Hamburg as early as 1796. The company 'Franke & Scheibe' founded in 1885 took over the 'Verlagdruckerei W. Brichet' in 1891 and merged the Hamburg-Altonaer goods import list with its own 'Schiffsnachrichten'. In the 1930s, the Hamburg printing and publishing house left the previous core business of port management and shipping and from 1933 published the cross-carrier newspaper 'DVN Deutsche Verkehrs-Nachrichten'.

After the Second World War , the Franke & Scheibe publishing house did not receive a license from the British administration to re-publish Deutsche Verkehrs-Nachrichten. The publisher of the Heidelberger Tageblatt , Otto Pfeffer, received a license from the Americans to publish a traffic newspaper . This is how the Hamburg-based company started working with the Heidelberg publisher.

Younger story

In 1982 the Deutsche Verkehrs-Verlag only took over 75% of the Seehafen Verlag. DVV acquired Tetzlaff-Verlag from Hoppenstedt Verlag . Further acquisitions in the 1980s and 1990s were 'Griephan Briefe' and the magazine 'CIM Conference & Incentive Management'. In 2005 the Handelsblatt publishing group joined the DVV Group as a strategic investor and took over some of the shares of the heirs of the founding publisher. At the turn of the year 2008/2009, the DVV managing director acquired the share held by the Handelsblatt publishing group in addition to his previous shareholder share of 4% and thus rose to become the second major shareholder with 49%. On April 1, 2009, Flechsenberger took over the responsibility of publishing director 'Logistics & Transport' until further notice. On October 1, 2009, Rheinisch-Bergische Verlagsgesellschaft joined the DVV Media Group as a partner and took over 40% of the shares. Since August 17, 2011, the British specialist publisher Air Cargo Media Ltd. 100% to the DVV Media Group with the Air Cargo News magazine . At the same time, the publishing group separated from its subsidiary in Bulgaria (BTP - Bulgarian Transport Press OOD / Bulgarsko Transportno Izdatelstvo OOD) as part of a portfolio streamlining through a management buy-out .
