history

As early as 1885 there was a Benedictine printing house in the Reichenbach am Regen monastery in the diocese of Regensburg . In 1887 the monks moved to Emming am Ammersee in what is now the Landsberg am Lech district . In 1902 the Missionsverlag St. Ottilien was founded. In 1949 it was renamed EOS Verlag . Initially, the publishing house worked for its own use, such as the mission sheets , Das Heidenkind (youth magazine) and the mission calendar St. Ottilien (year book). In addition, products of the liturgy and smaller missionary writings of the monks were published. In the 1970s, the printing and typesetting and the publishing house moved to a newer building. The latter developed into a specialist publisher for history, theology and monasticism.

The publisher is a member of the German Book Trade Association .

Surname

The abbreviation "EOS" introduced in 1949 stands for "Editions of St. Ottilien". In Greek mythology there is talk of a "goddess of the dawn", Eos , to which the publisher's name refers. In addition, the Christian orientation of the publisher was made clear, because Jesus Christ is repeatedly associated with light .
