history
Koehler & Amelang
The older predecessor company of the publishing house was founded by Karl Franz Gottfried Koehler in 1789 in Leipzig. From the merger of the publishers of Koehler and Carl Friedrich Amelang (founded in 1806), Koehler & Amelang Verlag, based in Leipzig, emerged in 1925. The focus of the publishing program encompassed a wide range of school books, travel literature, art books, scientific publications and general literature.
During the time of National Socialism , Koehler & Amelang Verlag published several nationalistic and ethnic works that were edited by the Board of Trustees, Presidium, Secretary General and the Literature Committee of the German Heritage. Among the authors were, for example, Matthes Ziegler and Hans Strobel .
In 1947 the publishing house received a new license in the Soviet zone of occupation, but was nationalized in 1950. In 1951 the publishing house was transferred to the holding company of the GDR CDU VOB Union Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH for use in legal ownership. After German reunification, the publishing house changed hands several times and has been part of the Seemann Henschel publishing group since 2004 .
Koehler's publishing company
Since the Koehler family had been able to secure important rights in 1948, they re-founded the publishing house in 1951 in Biberach an der Riss in Upper Swabia as Koehler's publishing company. For many years the company was based in Herford in East Westphalia. In the post-war decades, the publishing company developed into one of the leading German publishers for shipping literature, one of whose best-known publications is the yearbook Köhlers Flottenkalender , which was published by Wilhelm Köhler Verlag in Minden from 1901 and has been continued by Koehlers Verlagsgesellschaft since 1967.
In 1995 Koehlers Verlagsgesellschaft moved to Hamburg . The company is run by Peter Tamm Jr., who took over the publishing house from his father Peter Tamm in 2008 .
