Weimer Media Group

Weimer Media Group GmbH (stylized WEIMER MEDIA GROUP) is a German publishing house based in Tegernsee, founded in 2012 by Wolfram Weimer and Christiane Goetz-Weimer. The group specializes in high-quality journalism, with a portfolio of around a dozen media brands focused on business, finance, and political debate. Its publications include the debate magazine The European, the business magazine WirtschaftsKurier, the stock market publication Börse am Sonntag (with over 100,000 subscribers), Markt und Mittelstand, and the satire magazine Pardon. The group also owns one of Germany's large databases for email communication and operates as an online publisher. In addition to publishing, Weimer Media Group hosts major conferences such as the Ludwig-Erhard-Gipfel and the Frankfurt Finance & Future Summit with the IPO Night, and organizes events like the Mittelstandspreis der Medien and the Marken Gala 2.0 with Krypto Party. It produces books and corporate magazines through CH.Goetz-Verlag. Until the end of April 2025, the publishers were Wolfram Weimer (former editor-in-chief of Die Welt, Cicero, and Focus) and Christiane Goetz-Weimer (formerly of FAZ). Since 28 April 2025, Christiane Goetz-Weimer has led the company as sole managing director. The group has faced criticism regarding personnel reductions at acquired media and unauthorized publication of texts by politicians and celebrities.
