Rowohlt Verlag was founded in Leipzig in 1908 by Ernst Rowohlt. It became a notable German publishing house and developed a catalogue that has included fiction, literature, nonfiction, and books for a broad readership. The house’s history includes changes in its operations and publishing formats; one of its best-known publishing developments was the rororo paperback programme, introduced in the postwar period and associated with the spread of affordable paperback books in Germany. Rowohlt is now part of Holtzbrinck Publishing Group. The imprint continues to publish new books and maintain backlist and series titles. Its current website shows a programme across genres and formats, including hardcover and paperback editions and e-books. The catalogue includes historical nonfiction and contemporary fiction as well as continuing series such as Weihnachtsgeschichten am Kamin, which the publisher describes as an anthology series running for more than forty years. The present-day Rowohlt brand is therefore both a historic German publishing name and an active imprint with a varied, continuing programme. Its official site enables readers to discover books and authors, browse by category, and order titles directly or through local booksellers.
