Nicolai Verlag

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nicolai Verlag is one of the oldest surviving book publishers in Germany. It was founded in Berlin in 1713 by Christoph Gottlieb Nicolai (died 1752) as the Nicolaische Verlagsbuchhandlung. Until the end of the 19th century, it was based in the Nicolaihaus building at 13 Brüderstraße.[1] Initially, texts were published about religion, medicine, and jurisprudence, but also school books.[2]

From 1965 to 1995, the publisher Dieter Beuermann owned the publishing house. In 1995, Nicolai Verlag was sold to Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, at times being a subsidiary of the S. Fischer Verlag. In 2004, it was taken over by the publisher Andreas von Stedman. In February 2016, the former MTV boss Christiane zu Salm bought the publishing house.[3] [4][5]
