Syndicate publishing house
Syndikat was the name of the Syndikat authors and publishing company in the legal form of a limited partnership , which had its headquarters in Frankfurt am Main .
history
The publishing house was founded in 1976 by the Suhrkamp lecturers Axel Rütters and Karl Markus Michel . Comparable to the publishing house of the authors and the Wagenbach collective at the time , the new establishment was also an author's publishing house: The authors were involved in program planning and earnings as limited partners - each with capital contributions between DM 5,000 and DM 30,000.
The publisher was also a book club , which made it possible for its members to purchase publications owned by the publisher as well as non-publisher publications at reduced prices. The membership fees should increase the liquidity of the publishing program.
In 1979, Axel Rütters and Kurt Groenewold took over the European Publishing House (EVA). The general partner Rütters was then managing director of Syndikat Verlag and EVA in personal union. In 1981 Heinrich von Berenberg and Kurt Groenewold bought Syndikat Verlag in equal shares. By 1982 at the latest, however, financial problems arose, which led to the end of the publishing activities in 1986.
The goal of the founders Rütters and Michel was to publish critical-scientific literature. The publisher was particularly well known for its titles in the fields of ethnology , anthropology and psychiatry . Important authors were u. a. Paul Parin , Hans Peter Duerr and Carlo Ginzburg .
