history

On December 23, 1983, the prehistory and early historian Klaus Leidorf founded the publishing house Marie L. Leidorf on the initiative of his wife Marie Luise in Marburg . Klaus Leidorf had completed his master's degree in prehistory at the University of Marburg in June 1983 .

On September 1, 1985, the residential and company headquarters were relocated to Buch am Erlbach . After various activities at the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation in Landshut and Munich on the basis of temporary contracts, Leidorf acquired a pilot's license in 1988 at the expense of the Bavarian Society for Archeology and then trained as an aerial archaeologist by Otto Braasch in Landshut . From February 1989 Klaus Leidorf worked as a freelancer.

From 1984 to 1990, Leidorf-Verlag published only ten specialist titles printed using offset technology . That changed in early 1991 with the advent of digital printing technology .

As joint editors, Klaus Leidorf and Claus Dobiat from the Prehistory Seminar at the University of Marburg founded the series “International Archeology” in 1991.

On October 1, 1994, Leidorf ceded his publishing house to Bert Wiegel, who studied Prehistory and Protohistory at the University of Munich until 1983 and did his doctorate in 1989 under Georg Kossack .

The Leidorf publishing house remained a sole proprietorship, but the new permanent seat moved to Espelkamp . On October 1, 1995, the company was converted into a GmbH and the company name was changed to VML Verlag Marie Leidorf GmbH . Bert Wiegel became the sole managing director. On October 1st, 1997 the company headquarters was relocated to the neighboring town of Rahden .
