Archival history
History: The publishing house was founded in 1805 by Friedrich Arnold Brockhaus in Amsterdam. In 1811 Brockhaus moved his company to Altenburg. From 1817 the publishing house worked in Leipzig. At that time, the publishing programme was already very diverse. In addition to the Konversations-Lexikon and other reference works, popular scientific works from the fields of history, literature and philosophy were published. Later he published journals, biographies and literature in the field of aesthetics. Brockhaus had his own printing works built in Leipzig in 1818. The publishing house also had a bookshop, a commission shop and an antiquarian bookshop. In December 1943 the premises were completely destroyed by bombs. In 1953 the Brockhaus publishing house was entered in the commercial register of the state-owned economy.<br /><br />Content: Publishing correspondence - legal matters - personnel - family documents - Casanova collection - publishing jubilees - publishing catalogues.<br /><br /> Detailed introduction: History of the F. company.
