Bassermann Verlag Book

Bassermann Verlag is a historic German publishing house with roots dating back to the mid-19th century. Originally founded as Friedrich Bassermann Verlag in Mannheim, the brand has long been a staple of the German literary landscape, known for a wide variety of titles including cookbooks, hobby guides, and classic reprints.

Today, the brand is part of the Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe GmbH, following various acquisitions within the German media industry. While Penguin Random House is a global publishing giant, its German division operates with a significant degree of local heritage. The ultimate ownership lies with Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA, a German multinational media conglomerate. Books under this imprint are primarily manufactured and printed within Germany to serve the DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) market.
