The Biggest German Media Companies

A media company is a company that is specialised in production and delivery of media in the form of digital, audio, video, print and events. Media companies are designed to connect and strengthen the relationship between the medium's audience and the sponsor of the medium. The media has long been referred to as the Fourth Estate.

“The Bertelsmann”

Bertelsmann is a German multinational mass media corporation founded in 1835, based in Gьtersloh, Germany. The company operates in 50 countries and employs in excess of 104,000 (as of December 31, 2012).

“175 Years of Bertelsmann - The Legacy for our Future” - is the central theme for the company's anniversary year in 2010. Bertelsmann has undergone constant change in the past and will continue to do so in the future as it perpetuates its growth and success story. At every stage in its history, Bertelsmann has successfully managed technological innovation, changing user habits and market upheavals, including the current mega-trend of digitization. In the past, the company has revolutionized book sales and distribution, was one of the initiators of commercial television in Germany, and introduced employee profit-sharing very early on. From this interplay of continuity and change, Bertelsmann draws the certainty of being ideally equipped for the years to come.

Bertelsmann's traditions and history date back to the year 1835. Since its establishment in October 2002, the Corporate History department has devoted itself to documenting the company's history. The archive grew out of the work done by the Independent Historical Commission (IHC), which was commissioned to research Bertelsmann's role in the Third Reich.

As the central point of contact for all matters of company history, the Corporate Archive seeks out, stores and documents all meaningful sources of company history: files, correspondence, photos, presentations, posters and much more.

Keeping complete records of our company's history serves a number of purposes:

The corporate archive is open to the public and gives doctoral students, other students, and academics the opportunity to research the company's history. We disclose documents in compliance with the Federal Archives Act.

Of course we are also happy to help with enquiries that don't require viewing documents. Whether you need information about Bertelsmann's history, revenue figures from past years, historical photos or the like, please feel free to send us an e-Mail! The following provides an initial overview of our holdings.

The IHC Collection spans ten meters (32 ft) of shelf space, and focuses on the years between 1921 and 1947. It contains business papers, as well as documents from the establishment of the publishing company, and papers relating to the Bertelsmann/Mohn families.

The objective pursued by the Independent Historical Commission (IHC) was to investigate the history of C. Bertelsmann Verlag during the period from 1921 to 1951. The Commission compiled materials from more than 50 Archives to complement the scanty archive holdings from the time. It also conducted two dozen interviews with contemporary witnesses. After three years of research, the Commission presented its 800-page report, which was published by C. Bertelsmann as "Bertelsmann in the Third Reich" (Report: ISBN 3-570-00711-1; Full Bibliography 3-570-00712-X).

Our archive of files is growing constantly. It includes minutes, contracts, records of business transactions, manual deliveries, balance sheets, statistics, strategy papers, office liquidations and much more from the time after 1947 to the present day. Interviews with contemporary witnesses form a complementary library of documentation that is undergoing steady expansion.
