“When H. founded his publishing house, he hadn't thought about publishing contemporary fiction. From 1933 onwards he introduced himself to the public as his own author with his columnist ideas. "

- Wilmont Haacke

Although his books sold very well, he initially had to support the financing by working as a journalist for the Munich latest news . There he was a colleague of Eugen Roth. Together with Ernst Penzoldt and a group of like-minded people, they founded the "Argonauts" in 1924, which enlivened literary and social life in Munich for several years. Under Nazi rule he was dismissed as "politically unreliable" in 1933. Heimeran married his wife Christiane in 1936. The family became the focus of his writing work with his children Till and Nele.

Since 1923 Heimeran - encouraged by his history teacher Franz Burger - has been publishing the works of ancient authors in handy bilingual editions. The first volume of this series of Tuskulum books (which later received the title Tusculum Collection ) with odes and epodes by Horace was published by Burger himself in 1923. In 1940, among other things, a bilingual abridged version of the New Testament ( The Gospel ) was published by Kurt Aland . After the Second World War a number of groundbreaking editions appeared ( Arrian , Anthologia Graeca , Prokopios von Caesarea , Pliny the Elder and many others). The Hellas ribbon . A guide through Greece based on ancient sources (Greek-Latin-German) was compiled by Georg von Reutern . Today the Tusculum collection is continued by the De Gruyter publishing house .
