history

On September 25, 1792, Heinrich Wilhelm Hahn d. Ä. Together with his brother Bernhard Dietrich Hahn, he ran a bookstore in the Leinstraße under the name Gebrüder Hahn . In the years that followed, the brothers expanded the range with extensive book stocks from the 18th century and earlier that were taken over from other bookshops:

  • 1803 from the Rittschersche bookstore in Hanover; in the same year Friedrich Bernhard Culemann also worked for Hahn;
  • 1806 from the Trampesche bookstore in Halle ,
  • 1810 from the Caspar Fritsch bookshop in Leipzig . An additional company headquarters was also set up in Leipzig

From 1815 the company published the new Luther Bible of the Hanover Biblical Society and since 1818 has been able to call itself "Hof Buchhandlung". In the same year - Bernhard Dietrich Hahn died in 1818 - Heinrich Wilhelm Hahn the Younger joined the Hof bookstore. From 1831, he initially headed the headquarters in Hanover. In 1843 he also took over the company in Leipzig from his younger brother Heinrich Bernhard Hahn and managed the entire company.

From 1826 onwards, the company gained national importance through the publication of the collection of medieval sources , the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH). This was founded by Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein and editorially managed by Georg Heinrich Pertz . Pertz also became editor-in-chief for the Hannoversche Zeitung published by the bookstore in 1832/33 .

After the death of Hahn d. J. took over the son-in-law Carl von Thielen (born November 22, 1822 in Hanover, † January 3, 1905 in Rosenthal near Peine , Rittmeister ) and his son Herbert Adolf Wilhelm von Thielen (born February 10, 1855) the company. From 1886 the publishing management was the grandson of Hahn the Elder. J., who in 1911 transferred this to the newly acquired partner Georg Schmidt (born August 28, 1863 in Potsdam ). The Leipzig part of the company had already been sold to Franz Wagner in 1893 . At the beginning of the 20th century, the publishing business was reduced.

The Hanover headquarters was destroyed during the air raids on Hanover in World War II in 1943; After 1945, the bookshop and publishing house were rebuilt at the old address, Leinstrasse 32.

In 2013, the then owner of the publishing house, Elisabeth Freifrau von Schütz zu Holzhausen, moved the publishing house to Peine. The Hahnsche Buchhandlung publishing house has been undergoing a reorientation since 2019. It is now based in Isernhagen, and the management is in the hands of the managing director Olga Kurabtseva.
