Hubert Burda Media
In 1903, Franz Burda I laid the foundation stone in Philippsburg for a family business that is now almost 120 years old. Today it bears the name Hubert Burda Media. Just five years after the company was founded, Burda moved the company headquarters to Offenburg. His son, Senator Franz Burda, transformed the originally small three-man print shop into one of the largest printing and publishing houses in the Federal Republic of Germany. Today, the internationally active media group has around 390 media outlets in Germany and more than 110 internationally. As a visionary entrepreneur, Senator Franz Burda made a significant contribution to the German economic miracle. In the 1970s and 1980s, he continued to expand and founded new printing plants in the USA, making Burda the world's largest gravure printer during this period. His wife, Aenne Burda, also pursued ambitious international goals. Even before the fall of the Iron Curtain, "Burda Moden" was the first western magazine to be published in the USSR. The Soviet president's wife at the time, Raissa Gorbacheva, personally campaigned for it and declared: "Burda Moden is my contribution to the democratisation of women in the Soviet Union."
Following the division of the company in 1987, Hubert Burda, the current senior member of the Burda family, took over the management of the group. Since the mid-1990s, he has played a pioneering role in the development of digital business models. For example, he launched Focus magazine and numerous other successful media brands and magazines, including in the digital sector. Today, Hubert Burda Media generates more than half of its turnover in this digital sector. The media group is represented in 14 countries with around 500 media brands and employs around 10,500 people. Germany remains the creative centre of the company, with over 20 locations in the country, the most important of which are in Offenburg, Munich, Hamburg and Berlin.
Burda's history is characterised by the combination of tradition and renewal as well as a down-to-earth and cosmopolitan approach.
