100 Jahre Erich Schmidt Verlag 1924 - 2024

100 years of Erich Schmidt Verlag, a century of eventful company history: unique insights into the development of specialised information publishers and the success story of a Berlin family business await you in this special edition, which is more than just a commemorative publication. From its foundation through the turmoil of the Weimar Republic to the horrors of the 2nd World War, from the zero hour to the end of the war. From the zero hour and the new beginnings to the professionalisation of the publishing programme and digitisation as a continuous mandate for change: Along significant historical events, the book uses the corporate history of Erich Schmidt Verlag to trace how family-run companies can succeed in positioning themselves permanently over many decades, even in times of unprecedented upheaval - and how closely the fortunes of the company are linked to the publishing family at the same time. A stimulating and inspiring company chronicle that uses historical contexts to open up future paths for successful specialised information publishers in the digital and AI age.
