history
The company was probably founded in 1764 by Conrad Heinrich Stage . At the age of 14, Karl Friedrich von Jenisch, born in 1771, began an apprenticeship at Stage. Through diligence and business interests, he soon became managing director. In 1813 von Jenisch took over the bookstore and publishing house from Stage and from then on operated under the name of Jenisch- und Stagesche bookstore . In 1830 Jenisch separated the publishing house and handed the bookstore over to his son Carl von Jenisch. When Karl Friedrich von Jenisch died in 1837, the publishing house passed to Carl. His heirs sold the business in 1852 to Gustav Adolf Heine (d. 1859) and Wilhelm Geiß, who renamed the company Heine & Comp. added. In 1866 part of the publishing house was transferred to the music publishing house of Alfred Coppenrath (born 1830; died 1887) in Regensburg, as well as a number of publishing works to the book, art and map dealer of Richard Preyß in Augsburg (founded 1877), the The rest, most of them, were sold to the B.
