Bauersche Gießerei was a German type foundry founded in 1837 by Johann Christian Bauer in Frankfurt am Main.
Noted typeface designers, among them Lucian Bernhard, Konrad Friedrich Bauer (not related to the company's founder), Walter Baum, Heinrich Jost, Imre Reiner [de], Friedrich Hermann Ernst Schneidler [de], Emil Rudolf Weiß, and Heinrich Wienyck, designed typefaces for the company.
Subsequently, the company grew, also due to several takeovers, e.g. in 1916 by Frankfurt's type foundry Flinsch, itself a global player.
In 1972, all activities of the headquarters in Frankfurt were reportedly ceased and transferred to the former subsidiary company, Neufville Typefoundry in Barcelona, after 1995 to Bauer Types, which still owns the rights to many typefaces.
These are distributed by companies like Monotype, Adobe, Paratype, URW++, Elsner & Flake, as well as Neufville Digital for the typeface Futura ND.
