history
In 1977 Ernst Klett Verlag took over Cotta Verlag , which was founded in 1659 . The "Klett-Cotta Verlag" was formed in connection with the literary and scientific parts of the Ernst-Klett-Verlag up to then, while the Ernst Klett Verlag then established itself as a pure textbook publisher . Both publishers have been part of the Klett Group since 1995 . In November 2007, the publishers of the independent publishing house Tropen, Michael Zöllner and Tom Kraushaar , took over the publishing management of the Klett-Cotta Verlag and received a stake in it. Tropen has been listed as an imprint by Klett-Cotta since January 2008 . In 2018, the managing director Michael Zöllner left Klett-Cotta Verlag. The commercial director Dr. Andreas Falkinger became commercial director. Tropen Verlag has been running its business from Berlin since 2019.
program
The publisher has a wide range of books and magazines, including literary classics, contemporary literature, non-fiction and genre literature such as fantasy and crime novels.
Fiction
Klett-Cotta publishes the works of Gottfried Benn , Stefan George , Ernst Jünger and Rudolf Borchardt . But there are also many American authors who write outside of the literary mainstream, such as Jonathan Lethem , Tom Drury and Mark Z. Danielewski .

Hobbit press
The Hobbit Presse series of Klett-Cotta publishes fantasy literature, especially translations of works by well-known authors such as JRR Tolkien , Tad Williams , Patrick Rothfuss and Kevin Hearne . Occasionally, however, original editions by German-speaking authors such as Andrea Bottlinger or Oliver Plaschka also appear .

The Klett-Cotta-Imprint Tropen primarily publishes detective novels and thrillers , but also novels and non-fiction books with current topics outside of the mainstream.
Non-fiction
Klett-Cotta's non-fiction program includes books from the fields of history, politics, psychology to psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, as well as educational guides and socially critical works, for example by David Graeber and Marina Weisband . The core of the historical program is the Gebhardt , the traditional handbook of German history, the 10th edition of which has been published by well-known historians since 2001.
