In the page's words:

Since the official founding of Ullstein Buchverlage in 1903, our books have been characterized by the sacred owl of Athena. It is the symbol of science and wisdom and comes from the signet ring of the company founder.

Ullstein was founded in 1877 as a newspaper publishing house by Leopold Ullstein; the book publishing house was founded in 1903 under the direction of editor Emil Herz. Even then, the publishing house had the vision of combining great literature with the aim of entertaining its readers.

Today, Ullstein Book Publishers unite diverse, relevant voices under one roof. Our authors are committed to the values of a democratic, diverse and just society. Especially in politically turbulent times, they offer thought-provoking inspiration, orientation, diversion and beauty.

Publishing is a formative, effective participation in the present - this is how Ullstein Buchverlage sees itself and how we develop our attitude. We work with a sense of tradition and a focus on the future, with passion and courage. With a sense of excellence, with the joy of making a difference and with a desire for success.
