The Harenberg Verlag ( Harenberg Communication publishing and media mbH & Co. KG ) is an in Dortmund -based publishing house , founded in 1973 by Bodo Harenberg (1937 *) with the publication of the journal buchreport . Lexicons , magazines and calendars were later focal points. The lexicons and calendars appeared under the separate labels Harenberg Lexikon-Verlag and Harenberg Kalender-Verlag , which have belonged to the Bibliographisches Institut & FA Brockhaus since January 1, 2004 . The calendar program has belonged to Athesia Kalenderverlag since 2008 . Harenberg Verlag has been part of Spiegel Verlag since January 1, 2007 .

The publisher became known through the series Die Bibliophilen Taschenbücher and in particular the Chronik des 20. Jahrhundert , which was first published in 1982 under the imprint “Chronik-Verlag” and became a worldwide success. Harenberg grew to become one of the 100 largest publishers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In 1994 Harenberg parted ways with the Chronik series, which is now part of the Wissen Media Verlag ( Bertelsmann group). The knowledge media publisher with the retail brands Brockhaus, Bertelsmann Lexikon and Chronik closed its bookselling business on February 1, 2014. Harenberg continues to publish the book report , which u. a. created the bestseller lists for Spiegel magazine and - since the beginning of 2008 - the customer magazine buch aktuell again .
