VEB Verlag Volk und Welt was a publishing house in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), established in 1950. It focused on producing literature, educational materials, and scientific publications that aligned with socialist ideals. The company played a significant role in promoting East German culture and ideology through its diverse catalog. After the reunification of Germany in 1990, VEB Verlag Volk und Welt underwent significant changes. The publishing house was privatized and adapted to the new market conditions, continuing to publish a range of books, including works by East German authors and translations of international literature.
