Prestel Junior

The Publishing House and its History

Art, architecture, photography, lifestyle and high-quality children’s books: Prestel ranks among the world’s leading publishers – both in German and English – in all of these fields.

Prestel Publishing was founded in 1924 and has its headquarters in Munich, along with offices in New York and London and an international sales network. Since 2008, Prestel belongs to the publishing group Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe GmbH.

Crucial for Prestel is that quality reigns throughout everything it publishes. It’s not for nothing that the publisher has received more than a hundred national and international awards for the content and design of its books.

Prestel is a publisher for both young and old – for all those with an eye for beauty and a passion for visual culture.
