history

The history of Verlag Österreich goes back to the year 1804 with the establishment of the Imperial and Royal Court and State Printing House by Emperor Franz II./I . After the collapse of the monarchy in 1918, it is continued as the Austrian State Printing House. In 1997 the company was converted into a stock corporation, which was renamed Print Media Austria AG in 1999 . The Austrian publishing house is finally outsourced as a legal specialist publisher and privatized in 2000. In November 2008 Verlag Österreich GmbH was acquired by Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft. At the beginning of 2012, Verlag Österreich took over the law and economics program from SpringerWienNewYork in the course of a partial transfer of operations.
