history

The publishing house was founded in 1988 by an anarchist group of artists. Originally the name of the publisher was Edition Avantgarde 88 , with 88 referring to the year it was founded. According to the publisher's information, the reason for shortening the name to Edition AV 88 was that Edition Avantgarde 88 could not be written on a banner . Later, the year of the foundation was not mentioned when the abbreviation 88 became increasingly popular in the neo-Nazi scene as a replacement for the forbidden German greeting . The publishing house moved from its founding place Frankfurt am Main to Lich in 2005 and to Bodenburg in 2018 .
