The history of the port

The student homework booklet began in the Fürstenried-West grammar school in Munich , where the editors of the school newspaper Bunker Blatt , Andreas Reiter and Stefan Klingberg, created a homework booklet in 1990 that was supposed to be funnier and more imaginative than the usual ones up until then. The first edition was 400 issues. From 1993 the Munich homework book was also available at other schools, and from 1995 at almost all schools in Munich. In the same year, the Munich area rapper and draftsman Werner Weeh Härtl was won over for the project. In 1996 he created an envelope design for the first time, in which small and in the background a girl was holding the handle in her hand. The name is based on a deliberate misspelling. Around the turn of the millennium, Härtl designed the two Häfft mascots, bread and pork .

According to the publisher, the circulation of the homework book rose from over 100,000 copies sold in 1998 to 632,000 copies sold in 2006. In 2007, the printed circulation was around 1,000,000 copies.

In the course of time other products such as the Vokabel-Häfft (2003) and the Häfft-Timer (2004) were added. The publishing house Reiter & Klingberg GbR founded for the nationwide Häfft was renamed in 2005 to Häfft-Verlag GmbH.

The Häfft.de community

In 1998 the online student community Haefft.de was opened, which also includes various learning opportunities and a shop. A cooperation with Egmont Ehapa has existed since 2003 . A total of around 25,000 members were registered in November 2009, and the site has around 1.35 million hits and 120,000 visitors a month. From December 4, 2009 to September 2010, the operator took the website offline due to security problems, since according to the Chaos Computer Club the stored data of the students was freely accessible even without a password. According to the operators, however, there was no evidence of abuse of user data.
