125 years of Klett – a walk back through time

2022 marks the 125th anniversary of the Klett Group. In this, the anniversary year, the Klett companies tell their stories and thus also that of the family-run business in its fourth generation.

In June 1897, Ernst Klett (Sr.) took over the Königliche Hofbuchdruckerei zu Gutenberg, a former royal printing press. That was 125 years ago now. Today, the Klett Group, which is still entirely family owned, has 80 companies across 18 countries and is one of Europe’s leading enterprises dedicated to education.

In the coming weeks and months, the Klett Group, together with its many publishing houses, distance learning schools and universities, as well as day-care centres and schools, will be offering a look behind the scenes.

On our anniversary website, you will find a wide variety of articles from the Group and its subsidiaries, which will be published on the social media channels over the course of the year. The focus will be on company stories, employees and fascinating background information from the world of Klett.
