Fachbuchverlag Leipzig

It continues to exist as an imprint of the Munich publishing firm Carl Hanser Verlag.

The publishing house was founded in early 1949 by several shareholders (including FDGB, Kammer der Technik [de]).

From 1960 to 1990 the specialist book publisher was a Volkseigener Betrieb (VEB) (English, "publicly owned enterprise").

In 1995, the specialist book publisher was taken over by the Munich Carl Hanser Verlag and continued to exist there as an imprint.

Under the brand, some of the editors of Carl Hanser Verlag continue to publish around 60 specialist books a year.
