About Us

Our History

In 1936, August Lutzeyer established his namesake publishing house, August Lutzeyer Verlag, in Berlin, with branches in Minden, Bonn and Baden-Baden. Shareholders from Suhrkamp Verlag Siegfried Unseld and the Reinhardt brothers of Switzerland acquired the August Lutzeyer Verlag in 1963. A year later, the house was renamed Nomos after the ancient Greek term for “law” (νόμος).

Nomos Publishing has been part of the Beck Group since 1999 and works closely with its sister houses, particularly in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Today, Nomos is headed by its CEO, Thomas Gottlöber.
