Hugendubel takes over bookmarks: Bookshop sponsor is retained!

A big change in the book trade in Delmenhorst! The renowned book trade chain Hugendubel takes over the popular bookmark branches, including those in the city center, on November 1st. The Munich chain thus strengthens its influence and wants to continue the operation without interruption. The workforce remains and will be integrated into the future of book trade!

The previous owner, Swantje Gerhard, is now changing her professional direction and gives the bookmark branches into the hands of the established family company. "I am very pleased that the takeover of Hugendubel all jobs are secured and that a diversity in the book trade landscape is also ensured," she explains with joy. Hugendubel is proud to take over the bookstore tradition led by Gerhard in his own family tradition and to offer readers a deeper selection and solidarity book culture.

a proud legacy!

The history of the bookstore goes back to 1899 when the Dauelsberg family opened its first shop. After a conversion phase in the 1970s and various owners, sales in the industry was always challenging. Heinz Dauelsberg, a representative of the original owner, is optimistic and believes that the takeover by Hugendubel for Delmenhorst is a golden chance: "This is the second largest bookstore chain in Germany with an excellent reputation - a very innovative family business." A shimmer of hope in previous booksellers!

Hugendubel, founded in 1893, can now refer to around 3,000 locations and employ 1,600 people across Germany. Under the leadership of the siblings Nina and Maximilian Hugendubel, the chain is pursuing an omnichannel strategy that cleverly moves between branch, online and digital business-and thus designs the future of book trade close!
