history

The publishing house was founded in November 1949 by Friedrich-Karl Schattauer (1892–1967) in Stuttgart. The first publication item was the journal Die Medizinische Welt , originally founded in 1927. In January 1950, the first edition appeared in the Schattauer Verlag after a few years lying fallow due to the war. As a result, other specialist journals were added.

The first book to be published in 1955 was Die Thromboembolischenverbindungen (Ed .: Naegeli / Matis / Gross / Runge / Sachs). In 1964, the first large color atlas appeared with the work Der Diagnostische Blick - Atlas for the differential diagnosis of internal diseases by Klostermann / Südhof / Tischendorf. This format became a trademark of the publisher in the following years.

After the death of Friedrich-Karl Schattauer in 1967, his wife Elfriede Schattauer as well as Paul Matis and Phillip Reeg took over the management of the company. They withdrew at the beginning of the 1980s and sold the publisher to Bergemann & Mayr in Miesbach, whose printing works had been a main supplier to the publisher for a long time. In 1983 Dieter Bergemann took over the management of the company.

After Matis left the company, the psychotherapist Wulf Bertram became the scientific director and subsequently expanded the areas of psychosomatic medicine, psychology and psychiatry. In 1984 the spectrum of the publisher was expanded to include veterinary medicine with the takeover of the magazine Tierärztliche “Praxis” , followed by important basic works in this field.

In 1998 the publisher went online with its first website, since then the publisher has also been involved with the SKS (SchattauerKongressService) in the organization of specialist congresses and seminars. Formerly known as SKS - Schattauer Kongress Service - the corporate division operated as Schattauer Convention from 2013. Schattauer Convention was a partner for the planning, organization and implementation of small and large medical events in the fields of human medicine, psychiatry and psychotherapy as well as in veterinary medicine.

In 2008 Jan Haaf became a member of the management. On January 1, 2017, the Schattauer Verlag was taken over by the Thieme publishing group . The program segment Psychotherapy / Psychosomatics and Psychiatry was sold to the Klett-Cotta publishing house (under the Schattauer brand ) on January 1, 2018 . According to a report in the book report , "over 350 book titles, three specialist journals and three training events " are affected .

The publisher was a member of the German Book Trade Association .
