Marowsky publishing house

The Marowsky publishing house from the East Westphalian city of Minden was a bookshop and at times also a publisher in the city center of Minden, which shaped the city for several generations of the owner-managed bookshop. It was founded in 1872 by the bookseller Carl Marowsky. In addition to regional topics, the focus was on educational titles, which were created in close cooperation with the Petershagen preparatory institute . The publishing bookstore was awarded the title "Purveyor to the Court of the Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe".

history

The Marowsky publishing house was founded in 1872 by Carl Marowsky, who opened a shop on Bäckerstrasse in downtown Minden. The bustling bookseller was both city councilor and city councilor for the city of Minden. In 1912 he sold the publishing house and the bookstore to his son Hermann Marowsky, who moved them to Bäckerstrasse 6. In the so-called Third Reich the publishing house was closed because Hermann Marowsky did not belong to the NSDAP party. His son Klaus Marowsky was only able to take over the publishing house after his return from captivity in 1949 and move it to larger rooms at Bäckerstrasse 24. Because Klaus Marowsky did not have a successor, the publishing house and the bookstore were sold to the University Bookstore Phönix-Gesellschaft in 1995 after he left active working hours , which in turn merged their bookstore with Thalia in 2001 . Since 2005, the shop has been located in a new location at Bäckerstraße 30–32. Klaus Marowsky died in 2005. The Thalia bookstore is now in the Hagemeyer department store on the Scharn.
