Mohr Siebeck

Mohr Siebeck Verlag is a long-established academic publisher focused on the humanities and social sciences and based in Tübingen, Germany. An independent publisher, it has remained in the same family over four generations.

Founded in 1801 in Frankfurt am Main as the Hermann'sche Buchhandlung, the publishing house consisted of a press and retail book trade. In 1805, it became the university bookshop in Heidelberg. Still today, it specializes in the traditional subjects of theology and law but now publishes in a range of fields across the humanities, including ancient studies, Judaic studies, religious studies, history, philosophy, sociology, and economics.
