Leopold Ullstein and the History of a Media House

Leopold Ullstein learned the paper business in his father's company, founded his own wholesale paper company in Berlin in 1855, and created the Ullstein Verlag in 1877, a media house of international significance. The Fürth tour showcases this development with local references and shows how closely family history, city history, and European press history are intertwined.
