Ch. Möllmann Publishing

Ch. Möllmann Verlag looks back on 25 years of book and music publishing – mainly in German but with a few English and Russian titles.

Ch. Möllmann Publishing occupies a space of around 40 square meters for office, production and storage. Surely that should say 400 square meters! No: it is actually 40! Christoph Möllmann is a specialist in small figures. He has run this enterprise as manager, editor, typesetter, contact person for authors, and in other roles to do with books, supported by his co-proprietor Angelika Gausmann and two co-workers in typesetting and sales.

Focusing on small editions, Ch. Möllmann Publishing make many things possible, because Christoph Möllmann is keen to promote the spiritual life by publishing works of authors who contribute to it. Even if editions tend to be small at first, it is possible that hundreds or thousands of copies of a particular title will sell later on. But Christoph Möllmann does not accept every manuscript.

He is also fully committed to the anthroposophical cultural impulse and his enterprise is part of an association located around the anthroposophical centre at Hamborn Castle. The titles he publishes, whether they are specialist reading, literature or musical scores, all have to do with anthroposophy.

Since the first finger exercises – wedding cards for a Turkish family – Ch. Möllmann have published more than 400 books and around 80 music volumes. One of the authors is Tatiana Kisseleva (A Life for Eurythmy) and among the composers are Esther and Raimund Schwedeler, whose complete works have largely been published by Ch. Möllmann and are also available electronically. Christoph Möllmann has himself also turned author and written a history of Hamborn Castle.
