F. A. Brockhaus AG was a German book publishing firm founded by Friedrich Arnold Brockhaus. It was best known for its eponymous encyclopedia and other renown bedrock brands for lexical functional grammar such as Duden, Meyers or the Harenberg Lexikon-Verlag and Kunstverlag Weingarten. Its legal successor is the company Bibliographisches Institut & F. A. Brockhaus AG.
The publicly traded company was eventually divestitured through fundamental asset-stripping after rights of the renown Brockhaus-brand including rights for its online presence and Meyers Online was sold off to Bertelsmann-subsidiary Arvato, following a stock take-over through majority stakeholder Cornelsen Verlag. The remaining book publisher and legal successor, which has completely withdrawn from any lexical functional grammar or reference-works business-fields, now operates under the name Bibliographisches Institut GmbH.[1]
