history
In 1978 the publishing house was founded under the name Gervinus-Verlag by members of the Association of Socialist Workers . In 1987 the name was changed to Arbeiterpresse , after the BSA newspaper published in the publishing house. Until the works of Leon Trotsky became public domain in 2010 , the Arbeiterpresse-Verlag owned the rights to Trotsky's writings for German-speaking countries and published the Trotsky Library series .
The change of name to Mehring Verlag in 2009 was associated with an expansion of the publishing program, which had previously focused on programmatic writings, into the cultural field. German translations of some of the illustrated books by the photo historian David King were published .
