1989-1996

GeraMond Verlag was launched on December 20, 1989 as a specialist publisher for publications on everything to do with rail vehicles by journalist Clemens Schüssler. The founder of the Freiburg EK-Verlag , Rudolf Josef Wesemann, was also involved. At that time, Clemens Schüssler was in charge of the service of the railway courier belonging to EK-Verlag . The businessman Marcus Niedt, who also worked as an author, became the managing director. The publishing house was initially located in Amalienstraße in Munich. After Wesemann's quick exit, the publishing house traded as GeraNova Zeitschriftenverlag GmbH from 1990 and GeraMond became the publishing brand for its specialist publications. With the articles of association dated October 25, 1990, Schüssler became the sole managing director of GeraNova. The company's headquarters were now on Fraunhoferstrasse in Munich. GeraMond Verlag GmbH was founded in 1990.

In 1990 the first edition of the newly founded Bahn Extra appeared under the name of GeraMond Verlag and has been published every two months since then.
