Lucius & Lucius

Lucius & Lucius Verlagsgesellschaft was a German academic publishing house based in Stuttgart, specializing in economics and social sciences. It was founded in 1996 by the publishing couple Akka and Wulf D. von Lucius, who took over the relevant program from Gustav Fischer Verlag after that publisher largely merged with the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group. In summer 1999, the list was expanded to include the entire sociology sector of F. Enke Verlag. The publisher was a member of UTB GmbH, a joint venture of German-language academic publishers based in Stuttgart and co-founded by Wulf D. von Lucius, which issues Uni-Taschenbücher primarily for students and scholars. By 2010, the catalog comprised around 450 deliverable titles, ranging from paperback textbooks in the UTB series to monographs and academic series, as well as 15 scholarly journals. Distribution was handled by Brockhaus/Commission in Kornwestheim. Lucius & Lucius also acted as a sponsor and supporter of the University Library of Hohenheim. On 1 January 2016, Lucius & Lucius was acquired by the De Gruyter publishing group. At that time, the new owner took over approximately 300 deliverable titles and 16 journals and announced plans to make parts of the 2,000 out-of-print titles digitally available. The publisher's journals included Analyse & Kritik, Arbeit, Feministische Studien, Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik, Review of Economics, ORDO – Jahrbuch für die Ordnung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, Soziale Systeme, Sozialersinn, Sport und Gesellschaft, Zeitschrift für das gesamte Genossenschaftswesen, Zeitschrift für Rechtssoziologie, Zeitschrift für Sozialreform, Zeitschrift für Soziologie, Zeitschrift für Tourismuswissenschaft, and Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftspolitik. Today, Lucius & Lucius operates as an imprint within De Gruyter Brill, the academic publisher formed in 2024 by the merger of De Gruyter and Brill.

Lucius & Lucius Verlagsgesellschaft was established in 1996 in Stuttgart by the publishing couple Akka and Wulf D. von Lucius. Its creation stemmed from the acquisition of the economics and social sciences program of Gustav Fischer Verlag, which in the same year had largely merged with the Georg von Holtzbrinck publishing group. The new publishing house focused on academic literature in economics and social sciences, offering textbooks, scholarly monographs, journals, and yearbooks. In summer 1999, the program was further expanded by taking over the entire sociology list of F. Enke Verlag. The publisher became a member of UTB GmbH, a joint venture of German-language academic publishers based in Stuttgart and co-founded by Wulf D. von Lucius. UTB issues the Uni-Taschenbücher series, aimed primarily at students and academics. By 2010, the Lucius & Lucius catalog included around 450 deliverable titles, from paperback textbooks in the UTB series to monographs and academic series, along with 15 scholarly journals. Distribution was handled by Brockhaus/Commission in Kornwestheim. The publisher also supported the University Library of Hohenheim as a sponsor. On 1 January 2016, Lucius & Lucius was acquired by the De Gruyter publishing group. At that time, De Gruyter took over approximately 300 deliverable titles and 16 journals and announced that parts of the 2,000 out-of-print titles would be made digitally available. The journals published by Lucius & Lucius as of 2016 included Analyse & Kritik, Arbeit, Feministische Studien, Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik, Review of Economics, ORDO – Jahrbuch für die Ordnung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, Soziale Systeme, Sozialersinn, Sport und Gesellschaft, Zeitschrift für das gesamte Genossenschaftswesen, Zeitschrift für Rechtssoziologie, Zeitschrift für Sozialreform, Zeitschrift für Soziologie, Zeitschrift für Tourismuswissenschaft, and Zeitschrift für Wirtschaftspolitik. Following the acquisition, Lucius & Lucius continued as an imprint within De Gruyter. In 2024, De Gruyter merged with Brill to form De Gruyter Brill, and Lucius & Lucius remains part of its portfolio of publishing brands.
