Verlag Jungbrunnen was founded in 1923. Background was the intention to supply children who otherwise didn’t have access to books with high quality literature. Even though almost 100 years have gone by since then, the aim is still the same: Jungbrunnen produces quality picture books and novels for children and young adults from 2 to 14. Literary style and language, fantasy and craftsmanship in illustrations, universal topics which touch the souls of young people – all those elements unite to extraordinary books, which are entertaining and demanding at the same time. Young people can feel at home in them and have a chance to deal with existential questions in a protected space.

Many Jungbrunnen books have become classics over the years and have been inspiring children and readers for generations. And not only in the German-speaking countries: besides individual care for young, up-and-coming authors, the license trade is an essential pillar for making Jungbrunnen authors internationally known.
