History

[edit]

Rowohlt Verlag was founded in 1908 in Leipzig by Ernst Rowohlt and was renamed to Kurt Wolff Verlag in February 1913.[1] After Ernst Rowohlt was banned from the publishing industry in 1938, the company became a subsidiary of Deutsche Verlags-Anstalt, until it was closed in 1943.[citation needed] On 9 November 1945, Rowohlt's oldest son, Heinrich Maria Ledig, relaunched the publishing house in Stuttgart.[citation needed]
