Olzog Publishing House

The Olzog-Verlag ( original spelling : OLZOG Verlag ) was a German book publisher from Munich . It was founded in 1949 as "Isar Verlag" by Günter Olzog . The publisher's motto was "Inform & Set Accents".

history

The publishing house was founded on December 10, 1949 by Günter Olzog , who was a partner and sole managing director until 1998, as Isar-Verlag Dr. Günter Olzog co-founded. He wanted to provide information "objectively and critically". From 1953 to 1959 Helga Grebing worked as a lecturer for contemporary history and politics at Olzog-Verlag. In 1960 the name was changed to Günter-Olzog-Verlag . From 1972 the publishing house was organized in a GmbH . In 1987 the company was sold to the modern industry publishing house in Landsberg am Lech. In 1998 it was sold on to the former board spokesman Reinhard Möstl and the Weltbild publishing group, and the company's headquarters were relocated to Munich- Sendling . At that time, sales amounted to 2 million D-Marks.

On January 1, 2014, Lau-Verlag in Reinbek near Hamburg took over the non-fiction program (“History, Politics, Society”) from Olzog-Verlag, which only kept its “cross-media programs”. In 2017 the publishing house was sold to Mediengruppe Oberfranken and has been continued there as an imprint ever since .

program

In 2007, the number of new publications a year was between 20 and 30 books. Until the end of 2013, the publishing program comprised the social sciences areas of politics, economics (including the “Liberal Series” on well-known economic theorists), society and contemporary history. A total of over 1200 titles were published. More recent works have been published mainly in the areas of education and specialist information . One focus recently was teaching and practice materials for kindergarten, school, senior care and school counseling, which were offered online at eDidact for a fee from 2009 .
