history

Johann Heider (born January 12, 1856 in Opladen , † January 11, 1941 in Bergisch Gladbach) had learned the profession of book printer and had become a master. In the summer of 1889 he came to Bergisch Gladbach and founded the Heider publishing house with an attached printing shop on the main street in the vicinity of today's Bergischer Löwe community center . In 1923 his third son Franz-Josef Heider (better known under the simple name Franz Heider ) became the new owner and took over the management of the company. At the beginning of the 1950s, the company wanted to expand further. The old building was not enough for that. A suitable plot of land was finally found on Paffrather Strasse in Bergisch Gladbach for the construction of a new production site with larger rooms. Construction work began in 1956. The company is still located there.

The newspaper publisher

On October 4, 1890, the first edition of the Volksblatt for Gladbach and the surrounding area was published, initially as a weekly paper. From December 13, 1890, it appeared twice a week, from 1895 three times and from October 1, 1896 as a daily newspaper. With the purchase of a 32-page rotary press in 1928, the prerequisites for the expansion of the new Heider newspaper were created . Other Bergische and Rhenish newspapers followed, first the Bensberger Volkszeitung for Bensberg and later the Wipperfürther Zeitung for Wipperfürth . With the dissolution of the Mülheim district and the creation of the new Rheinisch-Bergische Kreis in 1932, the name of the newspaper was changed to Rheinisch-Bergische Zeitung . It was also published under this title during the Third Reich . However, the texts were prescribed by the German news office and were censored by the local party offices. The editorial team was headed by an editor who was loyal to the line. The publishing house has been threatened with closure several times. Despite the difficulties of the Second World War , the operation and publication of the newspaper could continue until April 1945. From March 1945 to autumn 1949 the company was idle. Heider-Verlag then resumed its business and brought out the newly founded Bergische Landeszeitung , which has been published since 1952 as part of the Kölnische Rundschau .

The book publisher

The Rheinisch Bergische Calendar has been published once a year since 1926 , and was published by August Kierspel until 1925 . In addition, economic and social policy series and publications determine the business life of the publishing house far beyond the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kreis. The art books from the house, which mainly show the traditional art of renowned poster painters, are of national interest. After all, the publisher published a number of legal texts and commentaries in the 1960s and 1970s.

A so-called desideratum is also listed among the legal texts :

• Law on the Employment of Severely Disabled Persons: Severely Disabled Persons Act ; of June 16, 1953, taking into account the Amendment Act of July 3, 1961 and the related ordinances, guidelines and guidelines / text edition compiled by R. Weber. Confederation of German Employers' Associations
