history
The history of the Riemann bookstore goes back to Friedrich Gruner, who was given the privilege of working as a bookkeeper by Duke Johann Casimir in 1626 and thus became Coburg's first bookseller. The current Riemann bookstore opened in 1805 as a bookbindery at Spitalgasse 132 and was expanded to include a bookstore in 1806 . In 1855 the bookstore was named Hofbuchhandlung von Coburg. After several years, moves and takeovers, the younger son Johann Gerhards founded another bookstore, initially in Ketschengasse. Johann Martin Ernst Riemann had worked as a bookbinder in Paris, among other places. In 1855 he was allowed to start his own business and received one of the three book trade concessions granted by the ruling Duke Ernst II of Coburg . In 1878 Bruno Riemann bought house No. 9 on Coburg Marktplatz , where the bookstore is still located today. On June 21, 1888, the Riemann bookstore was appointed ducal Saxon court bookseller . Since then the company has been called E. Riemannsche Hofbuchhandlung. In 1919 Bruno Riemann the Elder took over J. took over the business and until 1987 several changes within the family followed. On January 1, 1987, the bookstore was leased to Irmgard Clausen. In 1999 Gerhard Riemann founded the Riemann Verlag and incorporated it into the Bertelsmann publishing group , now the Random House publishing group . Clausen leased the bookstore until 2006 and continued to run it independently from 2006. Martina Riegert and Martin Vögele took over the bookstore in 2015.
