Verlag Herder

Verlag Herder is a German publishing company whose public-facing retail and editorial presence is presented through Herder.de. The site describes its offer as books and magazines from Verlag Herder, available to read online and buy. Its catalogue and online shop include history books, and its subject-focused presence includes G/GESCHICHTE, a history magazine covering people, events, and eras. The company has also expanded its history-related publishing activities through acquisitions. Its website reports that Herder took over the historical magazines business of Roularta Media Group, and that Verlag Herder GmbH acquired parts of Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft (wbg) effective 2 January 2024. These transactions add history and knowledge-related publishing assets to the activities represented on its site. Verlag Herder is based in Germany and operates the Herder.de platform for browsing, reading, and ordering its publications. The evidence provided does not identify a current parent company, owner, executive leadership, detailed international footprint, or financial information; those details are therefore not asserted here.

Verlag Herder is a German publishing company with a long-established publishing identity. Publicly established reference information dates its origin to 1801 and identifies Bartholomä Herder as its founder. The present-day business is represented online by Herder.de, where the publisher offers books and magazines for online reading and purchase. The publisher's online presence includes subject-oriented publishing and retail sections. Its G/GESCHICHTE page presents a history magazine concerned with people, events, and eras. Herder also maintains a history-and-knowledge section and a shop for history books, indicating a visible catalogue focus in historical publishing alongside its broader book and magazine offer. The company has expanded its historical publishing activities through acquisitions. Herder's G/GESCHICHTE page reports that the publisher took over the historical magazines business of Roularta Media Group effective 1 November; the supplied page excerpt does not specify the year. A separate Herder page states that Verlag Herder GmbH took over parts of Wissenschaftliche Buchgesellschaft (wbg) effective 2 January 2024. Herder.de functions as the company's public online channel for product discovery and ordering. The available evidence does not establish the current ownership structure, named executives, or a comprehensive account of the company's development across its full history. Accordingly, this entry limits its account to the founding information and the specific present-day publishing activities and transactions that can be identified.
