The publishing house of Max Niemeyer was founded in Halle/Saale in 1870, and since 2006 has been an imprint of Walter de Gruyter Publishing; it is one of the most renowned publishers for the arts and humanities, with the main emphasis on Germanic and Romance Studies (literature and languages). The publisher’s reputation was established by Hermann Paul’s "German Dictionary", by leading journals ("Anglia", "Beiträge zur Geschichte der deutschen Sprache und Literatur" [Papers on the History of German Language and Literature], "Zeitschrift für romanische Philologie" [Journal of Romance Philology]), and by Martin Heidegger’s principal work "Sein und Zeit" [Being and Time] which has been published by Max Niemeyer since its first edition in 1927.

This programme has been and is being continuously modernised and extended, for example to include editorial philology, rhetoric and Judaica. A separate segment in the programme is provided by the Publications of the German Historical Institute in Rome and those of the Francke Foundations Halle in Max Niemeyer Publishers Tübingen.

You will find a detailed history of the publishing house in our Verlagsfestschrift [Publisher’s festschrift].

Initiatory structure and écriture are analogous processes that bring the writing self to the limits of awareness and language. [more ...]

Deutsches Wörterbuch

Hrsg. v. Henne, Helmut / Kämper-Jensen, Heidrun / Objartel, Georg

The new »Paul« is the only single-volume of German on historical principles in which the citation of sources from post-1945 literature figures as prominently as material from earlier periods. It thus contrives to enhance our understanding of earlier literature (notably Classical and Romantic).  [more ...]
