history

The publishing house was founded in 1990 in Cologne by Volker Dittrich . January 2016 the publishing house, which was based in Berlin from 2003 to 2016, became an imprint of Velbrück GmbH Bücher & Medien in Weilerswist. In addition to fiction, the focus was and is on books on the history of music and theater .

One of the most important projects is the tetralogy of the novel The Children of Sisyfos by Erasmus Schöfer .

Another committed project of the publisher is the now completed edition of Edgar Hilsenrath's work in ten volumes. The collaboration between Hilsenrath and Dittrich Verlag ended on December 31, 2011. According to a press release by Hilsenrath, Dittrich had, among other things, "made multiple incorrect statements with significant shortfalls to the disadvantage of Edgar Hilsenrath" and "issued licenses for foreign-language editions contrary to the author's contract". Hilsenrath fought back the rights to his work before the Berlin Regional Court. The remaining copies of the work edition conceived by Dittrich Verlag and supervised until then are now being distributed by Verlag Eule der Minerva . In 2013 the dispute was resolved.
