Herder's publishing program provides inspiration, orientation and expertise for central themes of life - and has been for over 220 years. This continuity is due to the constantly new challenge posed by the themes of the time, which are reflected on the foundation of enduring values.

The program traditionally focuses on specialist knowledge in the areas of theology, religion and spirituality as well as education and kindergarten. In addition, we publish non-fiction books on current topics from society, politics and history or on psychology and lifestyle. Our religious children's books offer just as varied content as the extensive Herder gift and audio book program.

At Verlag Herder, openness to new things and a sense of tradition characterize encounters with readers and booksellers. The spectrum of products ranges from aesthetically designed books and numerous magazines to innovative, interactive apps.
