Aufbau Verlag GmbH & Co. KG is an independent publishing house with a broad program of fiction and non-fiction titles. Each year, about 250 new titles are published by its seven imprints Aufbau, Rütten&Loening, Blumenbar, Chr. Links, Die Andere Blibliothek, MORE and aufbau taschenbuch.

Aufbau Verlag was founded in 1945 with the motivation to create a new cultural orientation for the people in post-World War II Germany. It soon became the leading cultural and literary publishing house in East Germany. Aufbau is particularly successful with literary re-discoveries from its comprehensive backlist of modern classics, exile and resistance literature and GDR literature. But we also publish a strong literary fiction program with German and international voices, bestselling romance, historical sagas and thrillers as well as an outspoken non-fiction list.
