history

On February 3, 1747, the company was founded as the "Landscape Book Printing". The first orders were the printing of the "Hanoverian Church Chant Book", the "Genesius'schen Catechism" and a calendar. The Evangelical hymn book is still published by Schlüterschen today. In 1749 Heinrich Ernst Christoph Schlüter was entrusted with the responsible management of the print shop . He, from 1788 his son Georg Christoph Schlüter and their descendants shaped the company in such a way that it became more and more synonymous with the family name. In 1878 it was finally entered in the commercial register as Schlütersche book printing .

In the Kingdom of Hanover , the company came into the possession of the Hannoversche Tageblatt , founded in 1851 or 1852, in 1863 , which then remained in the possession of the Schlüterschen until 1940 .

In 1903 the Schlüter family sold the company to the entrepreneur Heinrich Ludwig Hartmann. The Schlütersche kept its name, although it no longer had any connection with its previous owners. In 1930 the first business telephone directory for the city of Hanover was published, the predecessor of today's Yellow Pages . In 1936 Heinrich Ludwig Hartmann converted the company into a limited partnership .

During the 20th century, the telecommunications directories developed into the Schlüterschen's most important sales drivers. Since around the year 2000, digital offers have become increasingly important for company sales.
