history

In 1977 Reinhard Mohn set up the non-profit Bertelsmann Foundation . The expansion of activities in the 1980s led to an increasing number of publications. In response to this, the Bertelsmann Stiftung publishing house was founded in September 1985. According to the articles of association, its purpose is to “operate a publishing business by publishing the results of projects initiated or funded by the Bertelsmann Stiftung in accordance with its articles of association.” The Bertelsmann Stiftung publishing house is run as a commercial purpose business within the meaning of the tax code and is entered in the commercial register.
