GEO Magazine

GEO is an influential educational and scientific magazine known for its stunning photography and in-depth reporting. It was first launched in Germany in 1976 by Gruner + Jahr, a major European publishing house. The magazine focuses on planetary exploration, environmental issues, history, and social science topics.

Historically, GEO was a cornerstone brand for Gruner + Jahr. However, following a significant restructuring of the German media landscape, Gruner + Jahr was fully merged into the RTL Deutschland group. Consequently, the brand is currently under the ownership of RTL Group, which is itself a subsidiary of the global media giant Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA. The magazine remains headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, where it is also primarily produced and published.
