In dialog with editors, scholars, museums, and foundations, innovative concepts are being developed that both ensure the usual quality of content and design and are aligned with the current demands of authors and the book trade.

[1] An important series published by the Deutscher Kunstverlag is Das Handbuch der Deutschen Kunstdenkmäler (Handbook of German Art Monuments) from Georg Dehio.

In the art guide series DKV-Kunstführer (formerly Große Baudenkmäler) individual publications are published in brochure form, mainly as a source of information onsite of the monuments.

The series Antiquitäten-Führer, and the successful title Kunst & Krempel (Art & Stuff), 3 volumes for the Bayerischer Rundfunk Television broadcast with the same name, served as a reference for collectors and fans.

The series Bildhandbuch der Kunstdenkmäler (image manual of monuments), which was established in the mid-1950s and includes 49 volumes, stopped publication in the 1990s.
