history
1822 to 1945
Tonger Verlag was founded in Cologne in 1822 by Augustin Josef Tonger (1801–1881) and until the Second World War by Peter Josef Tonger I (1845–1917), Peter Josef Tonger II (1875–1960) and Peter Josef Tonger III (called Hans ; 1902–1989). Peter Josef Tonger I enlarged the publishing house by buying up other companies, Peter Josef Tonger II was chairman of the German Association of Music Dealers for many years and received honorary membership in 1953. Peter Josef Tonger III joined the company in 1922, exactly 100 years after the company was founded - after a short apprenticeship at the German publishing center in Leipzig. At the end of the Second World War, the Am Hof publishing and commercial building in downtown Cologne was destroyed by fire bombs.
1945 to 2007
In the course of the new beginning, the music store and music publisher were separated. The music store Tonger was able to continue to operate near the old house, the PJ Tonger Musikverlag settled in Rodenkirchen after a few temporary stops, which was incorporated into Cologne in 1975. Peter Tonger (born March 22, 1937) completed an apprenticeship in the music trade in Freiburg, studied school music in Berlin and did an internship at a Viennese publishing house. In 1965 he became a partner in the newly founded KG, in 1989 he took over the management of the publishing house in the fifth generation. In 1976 the choir publishers Carl Engels (Mülheim an der Ruhr) and in 1983 Gerhard Rabe (Dortmund) and Fritz Spies (Gevelsberg) were acquired.
Since 2007
In 2007 PJ Tonger Musikverlag became a partner publisher of edition 49 stage and music publisher in Karlsruhe, which took over the entire publishing program and distribution.
