They offered an extensive book program on the subjects of building, housing, gardening and cooking, and various journals about the field of architecture and craft such as "Der Baumeister" (The Builder), "Garten und Landschaft" (Garden and Landscape), "Topos", "Die Mappe" (The Folder), "Stein" (Stone) and "Restauro".

Callwey Verlag gained national prominence when Ferdinand Avenarius took over 50% of the stakes in the magazine "Der Kunstwart", in 1894, which was at that time an important publication of the middle bourgeoisie.

Their writings, many published for the "Dürerbund", had a great influence on the education of youth, especially students and elementary school teachers.

The company is one of the leading architecture publishers in German in the topic areas of construction, planning and design, renovation and restoration.
