Druckhaus upwards
The Druckhaus Aufwärts GmbH was a printing company with a publisher in Leipzig .
history
The printing house Druckhaus Aufwärts emerged from the Peter-Presse in Leipzig . In the post-war period, typesetter and printer Christoph Kreickenbaum rebuilt the Peter-Presse print shop at Breitkopfstraße 3–5. The building was badly damaged after a bomb attack and was located in the graphic quarter of Leipzig. Many well-known companies such as Brockhaus and Reclam were based in the former center of Germany's publishing and printing industry . Printers such as Giesecke & Devrient , Offizin Andersen Nexö , Druckerei Emil Glausch and the Peter-Presse took advantage of the local proximity to the large publishers ( Edition Peters etc.).
Until its expropriation in 1953 was the complete name of the operation Druckhaus Ferdinand Peter Nachf. After the expropriation of entrepreneurs in 1956 leased the Kunstanstalt Rudolph Börsig and took it in 1959 as Peter press Christoph Kreickenbaum KG Darmstadt . He was very successful with many beautiful books in the West until his death. The Peter-Presse was meanwhile operated as a state-owned enterprise of the GDR. In 1955 the VEB Peter-Presse was added to the LDPD in exchange for the MdV Druckhaus (Michael-Kirch-Straße, Berlin) and integrated into the VOB upwards. The name VEB Peter-Presse was replaced by VEB Druckhaus Aufwärts . The Emil Glausch printing company in nearby Täubchenweg was incorporated into the VEB Druckhaus Aufwärts . There the further processing of the printed matter produced in the Breitkopfstrasse was carried out.
Like the newspaper and book publishers Der Morgen , for example , the printing house upwards also belonged to the VOB upwards in Berlin with other branches ( Demo-Druck Dresden , Druckerei Elbe-Saale in Naumburg, Vereinbuchdruckerei Wagner ) . The VOB Upward , founded in 1951, was again owned by the LDPD . VOB up was after the fall of 1990 in Vercon GmbH renamed and from the VEB pressure building up that was pressure building up GmbH . Vercon GmbH in Berlin continued to administer the LDPD and NDPD block party operations in the early 1990s. In the meantime, the special fund directorate of the Treuhandanstalt was processing the restitution application to transfer the printing house up to the former owner family. However, the business was not transferred back to the heirs of the former company owner. Instead, the company closed in September 1992 after the company had been in a long pending re-transfer. The main reason for the long limbo was the desire of the FDP to completely take over the party assets of the GDR block parties (LDPD, NDPD), to which the printing house upward belonged. When the former owner family wanted to force the takeover of management by a court of law, the company was closed overnight, systems and machines were transferred to other Vercon printing plants and in 1993 the liquidation of Druckhaus Aufwärts GmbH was completed. The liberal politician Günter Rexrodt was head of the Treuhandanstalt in Berlin at the time. The conflict of interests between the party assets of the block parties taken over by the FDP on the one hand and the goals of the public, represented by the Treuhandanstalt, on the other, was discussed in the media and in the UKPV at the time.

During the GDR era , mainly the LDPD and LDPD companies were among the clients. For the LDPD book publisher Der Morgen were z. B. Produced works by the Leipzig writer Stefan Heym .
The business relationship with the Leipziger Messegesellschaft established by the former owner was continued. For example, the trade fair telephone book was produced annually.
With the end of many GDR publishing customers at the beginning of the 1990s, the printing and publishing house had to reorient itself. Due to the management structure (administration in Berlin / technical management in the company) this was not easy. But the owner's situation was also problematic: in 1992, the Stuttgarter Sparkassenverlag negotiated regular orders for the Aufwärts printing company in Leipzig. However, since the transfer of the party's assets back to the previous owner family did not succeed quickly enough, the cooperation with the Stuttgart publishing house failed.
