Akademie-Verlag

There also were unrelated publishing houses Akademischer Verlag (Hans-Dieter) Heinz in Stuttgart and Akademischer Verlag in (East-)Berlin, and there is the Jenaer Akademische Verlagsgesellschaft (JAVG). Akademie Verlag (AV) is a German scientific and academic publishing company, founded in 1946 in the Soviet-occupied eastern part of divided Berlin to facilitate the publication of works by and for the German Academy of Sciences Berlin. Under the communist German Democratic Republic, from 1949 to 1990, it remained closely connected to the academy; unlike other publishing houses, it was not subject to direct control by the GDR ministry of culture. Still, it was regarded with suspicion in the West due to communist influence. Most of the output was sold in East Germany and the Eastern Bloc.
