Böhlau Verlag

The firm also published the Zeitschrift für geschichtliche Rechtswissenschaft [de; no] (Journal for Historical Jurisprudence) which had been founded in 1815 by the jurist Friedrich Carl von Savigny and others, and which still appears today under the title Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte [de] (Journal of the Savigny Foundation for Legal History).

After the end of the Second World War, Rauch founded a new publishing house in Marburg in 1947, which he named Böhlau Verlag in 1951.

In addition, the firm's publishing programme expanded to include historical, art and cultural history literature.

Within the framework of what was politically feasible, business contacts continued to exist between the firm in East Germany and the West German Böhlau Verlag.

[3] Following the end of the German Democratic Republic in 1989, the Böhlau Verlag in Cologne and Vienna tried unsuccessfully to reverse this sale.

Examples of serial works are the Werte der deutschen Heimat (Values of the German Homeland), Rheinisches Archiv (Rhenish Archive), Forum Ibero-Americanum, Beiträge zur historischen Bildungsforschung (Contributions to Historical Educational Research), Osteuropa-Handbücher (Eastern Europe Handbooks), Anglistische Studien (English Studies) and several series of dissertations.
