“Chances are that even in a thousand years, there will be no more felicitous way to connect ideas than with sheaves of bound paper.” (Textem)

We warmly congratulate the publisher of our con·stel·la·tions series, the Hamburg-based Textem Verlag, on winning the 2025 German Publishing Prize (Deutscher Verlagspreis). Each year, an independent jury confers this award in recognition of high-quality editorial work, cutting-edge book design and innovative, culturally engaged programming.

Textem Verlag has been putting out essays, magazines, prose pieces, novels and artist's books since 2004. Seven sumptuous volumes have appeared in the con·stel·la·tions series so far, with more in preparation.

Thank you very much for turning the spotlight on the interface of art and scholarship – and, of course, for the wonderful collaboration!
