from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gebr. Borntraeger Verlagbuchhandlung (Gebrüder Borntraeger) is a science publisher for geo and environmental sciences and botany based in Stuttgart .

history

The publishing house was founded in Königsberg in 1790 by (Matthias) Friedrich Nicolovius (1768–1836). In 1818 the publishing house was taken over by the Borntraeger brothers. In Königsberg they published, among others, Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel and Immanuel Kant . In 1867 Eduard Eggers bought the bookstore , moved to Berlin and shifted the focus to natural sciences. This was strengthened under Carl Robert Thost (1865-1945), one of the 34 founding members of the Paleontological Society from August 1912 , who took over the publishing house in 1895. After the Second World War they were in Berlin-Nikolassee. In 1968 the owners of E. Schweizerbart took over the publishing house, which moved to Stuttgart , where it entered into a cooperation with the sister publishing house E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung (the publishers are formally independent).

You give u. a. the journal for geomorphology, the meteorological journal and the palaeontological journal (1914 to 1944).

In 1986 they acquired J. Cramer Verlag, whose main focus is on botany (including Dissertationes Botanicae, Bibliotheca Phycologica), which is continued as an imprint by Gebr. Borntraeger Verlag.
