history
In 1907 Richard Ganske founded the reading circle " Readers' Circle Daheim " in Kiel , which his son Kurt Ganske later took over and expanded. After the Second World War he founded the Jahreszeiten Verlag for upscale magazines (since June 1948 e.g. the Merian magazine ) and acquired the traditional Hamburg book publisher Hoffmann und Campe , which once published Heinrich Heine's books and which today includes Siegfried Lenz , Angela Merkel , José Saramago , Harald Martenstein , Loki Schmidt , Stephen Hawking , Patricia Cornwell , Doris Lessing and Matthias Politycki . Since the death of Kurt Ganske, his son Thomas Ganske has led the group of companies at the head of a three-person board.
In 1986 the publishing group brought the then innovative magazine Tempo , inspired by Vanity Fair and New York Magazine , the so-called New Journalism to Germany. The weekly newspaper Die Woche , discontinued in 2002, was also published by the Ganske publishing group.
In May 2011, the Ganske publishing group took over the art book publisher Hatje Cantz as well as the travel guide brands Polyglott and APA from Langenscheidt , which will be continued in the company GVG TRAVEL MEDIA.
In 2015 iPUBLISH Ganske Interactive Publishing GmbH and ticcats.de were discontinued. In December 2016, with effect from February 2017, the production and distribution of the two-thousand-one booklet was taken over.
