history

The name of the company goes back to the bookbinder Johann Brendow from Soest , who settled in Ruhrort in 1838 and changed from a small trader to a publisher in 1849. During his lifetime he offered the so-called “Ruhrorter Wochenblatt” for subscription. Today the print shop and book publisher are based in Moers .

Brendow publishing house

The book publisher was founded in 1964 by the then owner of the print shop, Helene Wiefelspütz, under evangelistic auspices. From 1981 to 1994 the publishing house was headed by Hans Steinacker . The publisher publishes books, audio books and non-books with Christian content. In the meantime, Brendow Verlag also serves markets in the secular range. The publisher has also included critical perspectives on faith and current social developments in its program. Every year, over 30 new titles are published by Brendow Verlag. He was a longtime member of the Christian publishing cooperation Edition C .

The most famous foreign language author of the publisher is the Irish author and literary scholar CS Lewis (1898–1963). The most famous work by CS Lewis, the children's book series The Chronicles of Narnia , rose to prominence in 2005 when the first Narnia film was released in German cinemas. Today Brendow also offers fan books and audio books on the Narnia saga.
