Om Gyldendal
(For English version: please see below)
Historien kort fortalt
Gyldendal blev grundlagt med afsæt i en markant samfundsmæssig udvikling, da ordet i 1770 kortvarigt blev givet frit. Denne nyvundne ytringsfrihed blev anledning til at stifte Gyldendal og udgive frie ord, som siden har været kernen for forlaget.
I årenes løb er uddannelsesområdet kommet til som en integreret del af forlaget. Dermed er Gyldendals kerneaktiviteter forlagsvirksomhed rettet mod henholdsvis det almene litteraturmarked og uddannelsessystemet. Dertil kommer vores mentorforretning, som tilbyder lektiehjælp til familier. Disse aktiviteter betragter vi alle som værende af grundlæggende samfundsnyttig karakter.
Vi har siden 1782 haft hjemme i vores historiske bygninger i Klareboderne i det centrale København.
Organisationen
Gyldendal består af divisionerne Gyldendal Forlag, som udgiver bøger til det private marked, og Gyldendal Uddannelse, som leverer undervisningsmaterialer til alle uddannelsesniveauer.

A Brief History
Founded in 1770, Gyldendal is the oldest publishing company in Denmark, making its mark on both the industry and Danish society for 250 years. We have published some of the most important voices of our time and are consistently raising the bar for the publishing industry.
We are based in a complex of historic buildings in Klareboderne in the heart of Copenhagen, in an area formerly known as Tranens Kvarter (‘The Crane District’). The crane in Gyldendal’s logo came from the signet ring of the company's founder, Søren Gyldendal. Standing as it does with a rock in one raised claw, the crane is an ancient European symbol of care and vigilance. If the bird falls asleep, the stone will fall – and wake the bird. Gyldendal has constantly evolved over the years in order to regain and maintain its foothold in an ever-changing market. The crane in our logo is a reminder that we must not dwell on the past.
Since 1770, however, the company’s mission has largely remained the same. Gyldendal is committed to making a continuous and significant impression on Danish society, ensuring that the reading experiences and learning of the Danes are coloured by diversity and quality. We strive to be the preferred host in the meeting between creator and recipient, thereby preserving our status as one of the most important voices in cultural life and the common democratic discourse.
The Organisation
Gyldendal has two divisions: Gyldendal Book Publishing, which publishes books for the private market; and Gyldendal Education, which provides educational materials for all levels of education.
Gyldendal Book Publishing comprises five editorial departments: Fiction, Non-fiction, Children and Young Adults, Cicero and Flamingo. This part of the publishing house is also referred to as ‘Trade'.
Gyldendal Education consists of the educational publishing house and a large portfolio of e-learning and mentoring. The educational publishing house publishes materials for primary school, upper secondary school, higher education and VET (which includes the publishers Munksgaard and Hans Reitzels Forlag). The subsidiaries Systime and MentorDanmark are also affiliated with the educational division.
Together, the entire organisation is referred to as the Gyldendal Group. With its special profile and range of publications, each area ensures the expansion and evolution of all the group’s areas of expertise.
Market Position
Gyldendal, the oldest and largest publishing company in Denmark, is committed to maintaining and expanding its position as the leading publisher of fiction and nonfiction for adults and children, and of materials for all levels of education. Our efforts are rooted in dynamic interaction between tradition and renewal, in an understanding of cultural and democratic heritage, in openness to the evolution of the book market and new forms of expression and media – and by continuing to set high standards in terms of quality, diversity and editorial care.
