Stahlberg Publishing House

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Stahlberg Verlag was founded in 1946 by the then 25-year-old Ingeborg Stahlberg in Karlsruhe founded. Until the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany at the end of 1949, the publishing house was an important forum for the young post-war generation. With the book series Ruf der Jugend , Stahlberg Verlag was directly involved in founding Gruppe 47 .

In 1950 the publishing house changed its concept. Ernst Krawehl and Gerhard Heller joined the publishing house as equal partners and the publishing house was converted into a GmbH. Important modern authors have now appeared, by Curzio Malaparte in 1950 the bestseller Die Haut , by Arno Schmidt in 1956 The stone heart . Stahlberg became Arno Schmidt's in-house publisher. His monumental work Zettel's Traum was also published in 1970 under the label “Stahlberg”. But playful works, such as Clochemerle by Gabriel Chevallier or the poetry by Peter Paul Althaus , were part of the Stahlberg program. From the beginning, one focus was the literature of France, which was published from 1963 by a specially founded publishing house, the Amadis-Verlag, founded by Ingeborg Stahlberg.

Until 1968 the Stahlberg publishing house was independent under the direction of Ingeborg Stahlberg, then it was taken over by the Stuttgart publishing group Georg von Holtzbrinck , initially merged with the publishing house Goverts and Krüger and later transferred to the S. Fischer publishing house , where still today important Stahlberg -Authors are misplaced.
