history
The couple Sigrid Persen-Müller and Heiner Müller founded the publishing house in 1976 in Hamburg-Bergedorf . At the beginning, Heiner Müller, language teacher in the kindergarten, developed Bergedorf picture sheets for speech training. A short time later he founded Persen Verlag GmbH with his wife Sigrid Persen. In 1982 the publishing house moved from Bergedorf to Horneburg . In 1999 the founders and owners sold the publishing house to Klett-Verlag and withdrew from the business. In 2007 the company headquarters was relocated to Buxtehude. In July 2010 Persen Verlag merged with AOL Verlag and Auer Verlag - also a subsidiary of Klett Verlag - to form AAP Lehrerfachverlage GmbH. Since 2009 Christian Glaser has been managing the Persen Verlag as managing director of AAP Lehrerfachverlage GmbH.
In 2012 the company headquarters was relocated from Buxtehude to Hamburg-Harburg. In 2019, AAP Lehrerfachverlage GmbH was renamed AAP Lehrerwelt GmbH.
