history
Horst Temmen , then a research assistant at the Research Center for Eastern Europe at the University of Bremen , founded the Donat & Temmen publishing house in 1984 together with the historian and author Helmut Donat . The focus of the publishing house was German pacifism , contemporary history as well as the dissident scene and its development in Eastern Europe . In 1987 Temmen left the university, the two publishing partners separated and dissolved their joint publishing house. As a result, Temmen and Donat each founded their own publishing house .
After it was re-established, Edition Temmen, run alone by Horst Temmen, initially published travel guides for Bremen's twin cities of Danzig , Riga and Rostock , followed by numerous North and East German and Eastern European destinations in the Illustrated Travel Guide series . In 1995 Temmen opened an office in Rostock. In 1996/1997 the publisher took over the renowned travel guide series Edition Erde , which is aimed primarily at study travelers and describes international destinations such as Bhutan , Iran and Oman . Since 2001, the series of travel and reading books has published similarly structured travel guides for North German travel destinations. The publisher's travel program also includes illustrated books .
The publishing program also includes several series of publications on political and contemporary history, such as the DIZ publications published by the Emslandlager Documentation and Information Center or the Neuengamme concentration camp memorial series , each of which deals with the critical reappraisal of National Socialism . From 2001 to 2004, the publications of the Federal Commissioner for the documents of the State Security Service of the former German Democratic Republic (BStU) were published by Edition Temmen. Another publishing area is the "regional literature", with titles on Bremen ( Bremensien ), Hamburg , Lower Saxony , Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania .
The publishers' authors include Michael Augustin , Dirk Böhling , Hermann Gutmann , Gerhard Kromschröder and Arnd Zeigler .
