Coppenrath Verlag GmbH & Co KG is a German publishing house based in Münster, in the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. It publishes primarily children's and young people's literature, together with various non-book and marketing products. Coppenrath is known for the children's book series Felix (children's books) [de] by Annette Langen, and Princess Lillifee [de] by Monika Finsterbusch [de]. The publisher has also worked with Rolf Zuckowski in 2001. Coppenrath is known for its production of Advent calendars.[1]
History
The publishing house was founded in Münster in 1768 when Joseph Heinrich Coppenrath [de] took over the Perrenonschen Hofbuchhandlung. The business remained in the hands of Coppenrath family until 1977, when it was taken over by Wolfgang Hölker [de].[2][3][4]
In 2018, the publisher moved its nearly 180 staff to a new nine-million-Euro building, Speicher 3, a former warehouse at the Kreativkai in the port of Münster [de].[5]
Divisions
The Coppenrath publishing group publishes in four divisions. Firstly there is the Coppenrath Verlag itself, which is best known for its children's books, including the Lino-Bücher, a series of small books to be read by, or to, children. This series began in 2001 with fairy-tales; the first was the Italian story of Pinocchio. As of 2022, more than sixty have been published. The books are square, with a 12 × 12 cm format.
In 1992, Coppenrath began to sell children's games under the brand Die Spiegelburg, "The Mirror-Castle".[6] A number of games have been nominated for the children's section of the German "Spiel des Jahres" award, or appeared in its list of recommended games:
- Mit Felix um die Welt ("With Felix around the world") by Kai Haferkamp [de] was in the recommended list for 2006.
- Capt’n Sharky – Abenteuer auf der Schatzinsel (Captain Sharky - the Adventure of the Treasure Island) by Kai Haferkamp was nominated in 2008.
- Die Lieben Sieben – Ab auf die Wippe! (The lovely seven - Off on the seesaw!) by Anja Dreier-Brückner [de] was on the recommended list in 2010.
The Hölker Verlag forms a third division, founded in 1972, and publishing regional cookery books, as well as modern books about food.[3][4]
The remaining division, the Bohem Verlag, was founded in 1973 and publishes poetic picture-books.[7]
