history
Friedrich Brandstetter bought the Einhorn-Verlag in Leipzig as early as 1844 .
The actual founder of the printing and publishing house was Friedrich Wilhelm Garbrecht , the 1862 one in Leipzig lithographic opened institution for music printing and lithography . Garbrecht died in 1874. Garbrecht's heirs allowed the company to continue. Heinrich Gustav Garbrecht, the brother of the deceased, who tried to sell the company together with the clerk Otto Säuberlich , became the authorized representative . The bookseller Oscar Brandstetter took over the company in 1880.
From 1885, Oscar Brandstetter had new production facilities built at Inselstrasse 10 and 12 and, in 1906, an extension to his building at Inselstrasse 2. Here he introduced the latest technology for his typesetting machines, such as machine typesetting and rotary printing . His authorized signatories were Otto Säuberlich , Raymund Schmidt and William Brandstetter.
The successful development of this company, Oscar Brandstetter , continued until 1939. Seen in its entirety, the Oscar Brandstetter company was one of the largest companies in its field in Germany when the Second World War broke out, with almost 2,000 employees and over ten affiliated publishers and companies related to the publishing industry.
After the end of the Second World War, after severe bomb damage, dismantling and expropriation, the printing works and the publishing house were re-established by Brandstetter in Wiesbaden. Martin Arndt then managed the company until 1984. His successor as managing director and publishing director is Günther H. Fröhlen.
