history
Beginnings
The company was founded in 1801 by Johann Friedrich Bitt (1755–1816), who settled in the “Markt 17” house built in 1672 on the Lütjenburg market square. Here he started his own business as a bookbinder with an attached bookstore. His daughter, Cathrina Maria Bitt (1796–1858), married the traveling journeyman Johann Georg Klopp (1798–1860), who had come to Lütjenburg from Hamburg and who took over the business in 1822. Their son Johann Matthias Klopp († 1900) was born in 1833. He also learned the bookbinding trade and was given management responsibility by his father in 1858. It was also Johann Matthias Klopp who gave the company its name, which is still valid today. He married Johanna Ida Katherina born in Kiel in 1858. Stender (1837–1885), they had 3 sons and 6 daughters.
At the turn of the century
At the turn of the century, their son Conrad Klopp (1866–1923) took over the company and expanded the business. Under his leadership, the JM Klopp publishing house became supplier to the court of the Electorate of Hesse , which included the Panker estate near Lütjenburg. Together with his son Hans (1895–1932), Klopp built up a trade in paper, stationery and fancy goods in addition to the printing business and also exported goods such as roofing felt, barbed wire, agricultural machines and other supplies such as steel pens and milk cans. Conrad Klopp was married to Maria Friederike Wilhelmine geb. Hell (1873-1940). They had a total of 6 children.
At the beginning of the decade of the 20th century, Hans Klopp had an idea that was almost revolutionary at the time: advertisements were printed on five-color posters measuring 66 × 50 centimeters and a tear-off calendar was placed in the middle. In 1913 the calendars were replaced by telephone subscriber directories around which advertisements were printed. This concept was registered in the Imperial Patent Office on September 13, 1913 as a utility model role. In 1923, Hans Klopp became the owner of the JM Klopp publishing house. Under his leadership, the focus was even more on the printing business, at the same time more and more local telephone directories were produced, as the publisher still held the patent here. In 1927 this was also updated: "Traffic and telephone table on the advertisement board for accommodating any number of telephone subscribers." Hans Klopp was married to Margarethe born. Krickhuhn, from which he divorced. After a fatal motorcycle accident by Hans Klopps in January 1932, Albert Beyschlag took over the publishing house in 1936 after he had married the sister of the casualty, Annemarie Karla Klopp.
The number of telephone connections grew rapidly and the boards were no longer sufficient. The telephone books, which now appear regularly, were initially taken over by the Deutsche Reichs-Postreklame, founded in 1924, but in 1936 the first contract was signed with the publishing company JM Klopp to publish the first real local telephone books. A total of 332 telephone subscriber directories were published throughout Germany.
After the Second World War
Due to the war and its consequences, telephone books could no longer be produced on this scale in the next few years. From around 1950, however, concentration was ultimately necessary because the number of telephone lines had meanwhile increased so much. Eleven local telephone books with 128 book sections have now been published in northern Germany, with a total print run of around 260,000 books.
In 1976 Horst Beyschlag took over the management of the publishing house. Under him, new techniques such as photo typesetting and offset printing were introduced and the portfolio of services offered was expanded. In 2007, the management of the publishing house was handed over to Jörg Beyschlag, who now runs the publishing house in the eighth generation and, in addition to the two main pillars, the local and the printing of business stationery, also integrates modern technologies.
