Since the end of the collaboration, the publishing house has been called Karolinger or Dr. Peter Weiß -Karolinger Verlag . In addition to Peter Weiß and Jean-Jaques Langendorf, Cornelia Langendorf , Jean Yves Lefebvre and Hans Hofinger are shareholders of the publishing house .

Publishing program

The publisher's program with the motto “Nihil commune” is based on the “Romano-Germanic span of the Carolingians” and pays special attention to French literature.

In addition to history, politics and metapolitics , other focal points are determined by various series:

  • The Romanica series includes titles from French literature (such as Celine and Renard)
  • In the series Der Osten authors from the European and non-European East are published.
  • The series Die Bibliothek von R *** consists of various works such as B. late mysticism, military intellectual history or house fathers literature of the 18th century.
  • In the Library of the Reaction series , source texts are published with the focus on European restoration, e. B. Works by Donoso Cortés, Metternich, de Maistre or Bloy.

The first translation of Peter F. Drucker's The End of Economic Man by Konrad and Peter Weiß, which was published in 2010, received more attention .

By 2004 the Karolinger Verlag had published 77 titles.

classification

In 2004, Hannes Hintermeier said in the FAZ that the publisher had specialized in “lateral drivers to the prevailing opinion” and “refusers of the zeitgeist”. It is said that “a resistant universe of books has grown that is unearthing sunken treasures of European intellectual history”, which he regards as a “meritorious undertaking”. In 2007, Andreas Dorschel also found in the Süddeutsche Zeitung that the publishing house was "according to its program a place of impressive intellectual agility".

In contrast, the journalist Claus Tieber had already classified the publisher as " right-wing extremist " in 1996 , referring to published authors such as Hans-Jürgen Syberberg , Günter Maschke , Nicolás Gómez Dávila and Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn . For the documentation archive of the Austrian resistance , among other things, the publishing program could show a “certain proximity to right-wing radical ideas” because of a publication about Armin Mohler . In 2003, Bettina Stadlbauer and other SPÖ parliamentarians accused the publishing company of publishing “writings by declared anti-democrats” in a small request . The literary critic Sigrid Löffler described it in 2007 as a "dark man publisher", in which "very dubious people with very dubious views gather". The publishing program includes “everything that its anti-modern, anti-liberal, anti-enlightenment, monarchist and otherwise anti-democratic impulses“ entre nous ”would like to unabashedly live out, from Günter Maschke to Armin Mohler. A special "library of reaction" brings together illustrious names such as Metternich , the Savoyard counter-Enlightenmentist Joseph de Maistre and Konstantin Leontjew , a nefarious reactionary of the 19th century who railed against progress and Enlightenment in all forms, defended serfdom and has recently become a cult -Author of the Russian Right. ”The philosopher Gerald Raunig (2005) and the historian Stefan Wiederkehr (2007) describe the publisher as“ right ”. The publisher's program "covers the field of intellectual rights with historical and contemporary writings, which are committed to counter-enlightenment," according to journalistic scholar Hans Bohrmann (2008). In 2014, Julian Bruns, Kathrin Glösel and Natascha Strobl included the publishing house in a book on the youth movement of Identitarians as part of the political and journalistic environment of this right-wing extremist movement. The political scientist Bernhard Weidinger (2015) attests the publisher a "' new right ' profile", since the publisher advertises in the magazines Die Aula and Zur Zeit and the books of the publisher u. a. by the right-wing extremist Aula Verlag in Graz and the new right-wing publisher Antaios in Schnellroda.

In addition to the Carolingian publishing loud presentation of the Documentation Center of Austrian Resistance have kept at least 2001, ten percent of the W3-Verlag, the owner of the weekly paper the time of the FPÖ -Funktionärs Andreas Mölzer was. According to Hannes Hintermeier, it is said to have been a private loan of 10,000 Schilling to the private citizen Mölzer.
