Busche Verlagsgesellschaft

In 1922, a simple print shop on Kaiserstraße in Dortmund held a secret. This secret wasn’t about ink or paper. It was the seed of what would become the Busche Verlagsgesellschaft. Busche Verlagsgesellschaft wasn’t always the multimedia powerhouse it is today. It began with Fritz Busche’s vision. He laid the foundation for a company that would eventually span street maps, books, magazines, online media, and mobile apps. The company even hosts industry events. Imagine Dortmund in 1922. The city was rebuilding after the First World War. Amidst this backdrop, Busche started his printing business. The Busche Verlagsgesellschaft eventually moved its production and administration to Schleefstraße in Aplerbeck in 1991. This move marked a significant expansion for the growing company. Today, the Busche Verlagsgesellschaft’s product range includes ten series. These cover diverse sectors from cartography to the hospitality industry. Think of the Aral Touristik guides. Picture the detailed BUSCHE maps. Consider the BUSCHE Guide, Lifestyle, and Magazine publications. There’s also the BUSCHE Planokarten, Pocket guides, and Weintour series. And don’t forget Gut & Preiswert. The Busche Verlagsgesellschaft embraced the digital world in 1999. They launched online platforms like schlemmer-atlas.de and schlummer-atlas.de. These websites provide news and information about hotels and restaurants. Other platforms include tagungshotels.de, spa-highlights.de, and health.busche.de. The digital innovation didn’t stop there. Busche also developed mobile apps for their popular guides. The Schlemmer Atlas and Schlummer Atlas are available on iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Android devices. Since 1998, Busche Verlagsgesellschaft has also organized exclusive events. These industry and society events take place in Germany. Since 2012, they have also expanded to Austria. Some notable events include the Business Diamond, the BUSCHE GALA, and various Branchentreff (industry meeting) events for top chefs and sommeliers. So, the next time you see a Busche map or browse one of their websites, remember the journey. It began in a small print shop in Dortmund and evolved into a multimedia empire. The Busche Verlagsgesellschaft continues to adapt and innovate. It stays true to its core mission of providing high-quality information and experiences.
