Duden

The Publishing House and its History

Who has never heard of Duden? Since 1880, their big yellow dictionaries have given people assurance in all questions pertaining to the German language and orthography. The portfolio of Duden publishers comprises printed and digital dictionaries, reference works and advice manuals.

But Duden is much more. Our books present easy entry to the world of learning and accompany children and adolescents on their individual journeys of acquiring knowledge.

Programme

Sometimes learning is anything but easy. Not only is school sometimes a bit of a headache, but the constant demands to be better and better are exacting even for our youngest. Success is a ubiquitous requirement that can quickly turn into time pressure and overload.

We advocate a more relaxed approach when it comes to learning. Instead of coaching, we give more room to inspiration, creativity and enjoyment. Our programme assists parents and their children in achieving this.

We offer every kind of learner a firm basis for absorbing knowledge. At pre-school and primary school level, Duden’s dictionaries, books of exercises and pads of exercises for the holidays with funny illustrations and thrilling stories and assignments provide a playful entry into the world of learning. For well-established students, our focus is on less school stress through thrilling conveyance of knowledge and adequate practice.
