LangenMüller

Albert Langen founded his publishing house in Paris in 1893, moving later to Leipzig, then to Munich. When in 1896 the first issue of the satirical weekly „Simplicissimus“ was published at Albert Langen, an unusual group of young and already famous writers had gathered in Munich - they would later be known as the founders  of the so called German Literary Modernism. Soon authors like Thomas Mann, Jakob Wassermann, Ludwig Thoma, Hermann Hesse und Frank Wedekind were counted among the authors-in-residence.

Today LangenMüller, also being the publisher of world-wide known satirist Ephraim Kishon, is once more following this literary tradition with its multiple links to satire and cabaret. The publishing program is centered around carefully chosen literary titles and amazing memoirs.


Herbig

He showed strong interest in the sciences and published also several periodicals. In 1934 the Herbig family sold the publishing company to Walter Kahnert. After his death Herbert Fleissner took the leadership on Herbig and he moved it toMunich in 1967 to join the Langen Müller group.
