Stuttgart – a broad publishing landscape
Well-known traditional publishing houses such as Reader’s Digest, Kosmos, Thienemann, Hatje, MairDumont, Motor Press Stuttgart and Klett likewise have their head office in Stuttgart as their media site, as do small specialised publishing houses. Here one predominantly finds publishing houses for trade and technical books, trade journals and scientific publications. However there are also inspiring picture albums for travel, lifestyle, architecture and design, like those published by Avedition. Arnoldsche Art Publishers focuses mainly on jewellery, fashion and European art.
Current news is offered by the “Stuttgarter Zeitung” and the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” newspapers; both belong to the Zeitungsgruppe Stuttgart.
An overview of the publishing landscape in the Stuttgart region is presented in a guide published annually by Stuttgart Economic Promotion, listing approximately 400 publishing houses in the region. A closer look provides more information at the Stuttgart Book Weeks, one of the largest regional book fairs in Germany.
