About Verlag Enzyklopädie Leipzig

Verlag Enzyklopädie (English: Publisher Encyclopedia) was an East-German publishing house located in Leipzig. It was founded on 1 November 1956 by the German Democratic Republic (GDR) as a VEB. In 1964, the publishing house was merged with the larger VEB Bibliographisches Institut (BI), with which it had previously cooperated already, but it retained its legal independence. Verlag Enzyklopädie was originally intended to export works from nationalized encyclopedic publishers, but this plan failed. The publishing house then specialized in languages, its program included dictionaries, grammar books, language textbooks and phrasebooks as well as linguistic magazines. From 1980, this included the Zeitschrift für Anglistik und Amerikanistik (Journal for English and American Studies) and the Zeitschrift für Germanistik (Journal for German Studies).
