Weidmannsche Buchhandlung

Weidmannsche Buchhandlung was established in 1680 in Frankfurt by Moritz Georg Weidmann (1658–1693), who moved to Leipzig in 1681. Weidmannsche Buchhandlung continued to publish in Leipzig until 1854, reaching its height under Philipp Erasmus Reich, called the "nation's bookseller". The firm moved to Berlin in 1854, and continued publishing in Berlin, Dublin and Zürich under the Reimer publishing family. In 1983 the firm was taken over by Verlag Georg Olms. Books printed in Berlin bore the Latin imprimatur "apud Weidmannos, Berolini". ==Leadership==
