history

In the fall of 1989, Hans-Jürgen Dietrich founded the publishing house with a publishing program that was built up and expanded in the first few years by looking after the publications of the Rückert Society . The translation of the Koran by Friedrich Rückert, edited by Hartmut Bobzin and Wolfdietrich Fischer , was important for the development of the publishing house . Around 80 books appear in the program every year. The publisher has been operating as a GmbH since 2008, and Hans-Jürgen Dietrich is the managing partner. In mid-2017, Ergon Verlag was taken over by Nomos Verlag in Baden-Baden and continues to exist under this roof as an independent publisher.
