History and program
The foundation stone for today's Oetinger publishing group with its publishers and brands was laid in 1946 by the Friedrich Oetinger publishing house named after his publisher. Since the publication of the German-language edition of Astrid Lindgren's world-famous »Pippi Longstocking« in 1949, the family-run publisher, now in the third generation, has been one of the most successful German children's and youth book publishers and has consistently been a pioneer in the German-language children's and youth media market.
In addition to the classics by Astrid Lindgren, the Oetinger publishing group publishes the works of the most successful German authors, including Kirsten Boie, Cornelia Funke, Paul Maar and Sabine Ludwig. The "Olchis", the "Sams" or "Pettson und Findus" are children's favorites with cult character. Titles such as the "Ink World Trilogy" by Cornelia Funke, "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins or "Götterfunke" by Marah Woolf are all-age bestsellers. Authors, illustrators and translators in the publishing group are repeatedly awarded prestigious prizes.
