Identity
Identity
The Verlag Urachhaus was founded in 1925 by Gertrud Spörri, Emil Bock and Ernst Scheiffele under the name Verlag der Christengemeinschaft, and originally published mostly Christian literature, being affiliated with The Christian Community, although it since broadened its publishing profile. Due to Nazi persecution, the company changed its name to Verlag Urachhaus, after the street where its offices in Stuttgart were located, in 1936. However, the Gestapo stormed the office of the company on June 9, 1941, and seized all its holdings, the company was subsequently liquidated in 1942. Following the war, it was reestablished in 1946. After the Christian Community inherited the personal archive of Christian Morgenstern, the Verlag Urachhaus published a complete edition of the work of Morgenstern in nine volumes, known as the "Stuttgart edition". The two companies merged under the name Verlag Freies Geistesleben & Urachhaus in the mid 1990s, but continue to operate as separate imprints.
Verlag Freies Geistesleben & Urachhaus is associated with Germany. Recorded from 1995.
