Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag has been publishing relevant scientific books and journals for over 60 years. Every year, numerous new publications appear in around 40 series. Several specialist journals regularly publish current research articles, primarily in the fields of law and political science.
The Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag has a regional focus on Eastern European law and Eastern European research, Northern European research and the regional history of Berlin, Brandenburg and Prussia. In the latter area, Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag is one of the leading specialist publishers in Germany.
In 2002, the publishing house was given a new name, which it still bears today: Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag. The new publishing house management significantly expanded the program, especially in the areas of law and legal history, and set new priorities with the areas of public administration & economics and environment & energy.
In 2011, Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag took over the Pro Universitate Verlag GmbH as an imprint.
Since 2015, Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag has belonged to Franz Steiner Verlag in Stuttgart and thus to the Deutscher Apotheker Verlag media group.
