The story
Founded by Carl Hanser in 1928.1
From its inception, the publishing house was active in the fields of fiction and literature, with fiction being published from 1933 to 1946.
A foundational turning point of the company was the incorporation of the magazine Betriebsstechnik in 1933. Forays into the field of trade journals, with 21 publications, played an important role in addition to literature and specialist books.
The founder, Carl Hanser, withdrew from active publishing management in 1976, and died in 1985. Wolfgang Beisler, a grandson of Carl Hanser, became a member of the management in 1996. Michael Krüger was Managing Director of Carl Hanser Verlag until 2013, when Jo Lendle took over.
In 1961, Carl Hanser Verlag was one of eleven founding members of the Dtv Verlagsgesellschaft. By 1954, it was one of the founders of the book series Die Bücher der Neunzehn (The Books of the Nineteen). In 1993, the joint venture Hanser Gardner Publications was founded in Cincinnati. That same year, Carl Hanser Verlag extended its activities to include children's literature.
In 1995, Carl Hanser Verlag took over the publishing houses of Fachbuchverlag Leipzig and Sanssouci Verlag. Since 1999, its children's and youth books have been published under the name Reihe Hanser and also as paperback at dtv. In the field of audiobooks, Carl Hanser Verlag co-founded the start-up of DHV - Der Hörverlag.
