- Akademie Verlag
Akademie Verlag is a German scientific and academic publishing company founded 1946 in the Soviet occupied Eastern part of divided
Berlin .During the existence of the socialist
German Democratic Republic , from 1949 to 1990, it was closely connected to theAkademie der Wissenschaften der DDR . Since 1957, they are usingGottfried Wilhelm Leibniz , the founder of thePrussian Academy in 1770, and „theoria cum praxi“ as symbols.Most of the output was sold in East Germany and
Eastern Bloc , as it was regarded with suspicion in the West due to communist influence.Yet, it managed to build enough reputation to survive after the fall of the
Berlin Wall . They lost independence, though. Since 1997 they are part ofR. Oldenbourg Verlag which in turn is owned since 2004 byCornelsen Verlag .Since the 1970s, several volumes of the
Nicolaus Copernicus Gesamtausgabe (complete edition) are published by Akademie Verlag, covering many documents from and aboutNicolaus Copernicus in detail.External links
