Anniversary Projects, Events and Publications


In 1890 the young bookseller Samuel Karger went into the medical publishing business in Berlin with his first book, a compact manual in obstetrics entitled Geburtshülfliches Vademecum. Today, 125 years later, his great-granddaughter Gabriella Karger is leading the internationally active, now Swiss-based company which employs 250 people worldwide. The highly specialized Karger publishing program currently encompasses 100 journals and 50 new books per year across all biomedical disciplines.

Here is an overview on the special anniversary projects, events and publications:

  • Karger 125 – Connecting the World of Biomedical Science: This richly illustrated Festschrift chronicles the company's development and contributions in the service of medicine and science since 1890. Available as a hard cover and as a free cover-to-cover PDF.

  • Publishing Highlights 1890–2015: Take a guided tour through 125 years of medical and scientific publishing! The 80+ milestone publications delineate the history of the publishing house while also illustrating the development of medicine and its subspecialties over time.

  • Karger eBook Archive Collection: More than 2,400 pre-1996 books, a third of which are out of print, are newly available online. This completes the digitizing of the entire Karger book and journal contents since 1890.

  • The Karger Gazette Anniversary Issue explores the STM publishing business in the digital age, offers short portraits of Karger's journal and book series editors as well as interviews with three renowned scientists about their careers and how they define progress.

  • Interview 'Managing Knowledge Ever More Important' with the CEO Gabriella Karger on the strong Swiss franc, the new Karger Fund for scholarships to study Academic Management at the University of Basel and her fascination with the founder of modern anatomy, Andreas Vesalius.
