About Oldenbourg

Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag was founded in 1858 when Rudolf Oldenbourg started the 'Journal für Gasbeleuchtung' (journal for gas illumination). A few years later, the 'Historische Zeitschrift' (history journal) came into being. Both journals still represent to a high degree the values of Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag, a tradition of high quality publishing and a commitment to deliver valid information to the professional and academic audience in their respective fields of expertise. Today, Oldenbourg publishes 200 new textbooks per year and more than 30 learned journals. The range is wide, from journals about radiochemical technology to textbooks on ancient Greek philosophy.
