Lingen Verlag is an established media company from Cologne with over 40 years of experience, specializing in the production of children's and youth books as well as creative DIY products. Its most famous brand is the children's book series Leo Lausemaus, which accompanies children through everyday life in an entertaining and empathetic way. In addition to high-quality picture books with colorful illustrations, the range includes learning booklets, gift items and stationery products under the creative label monbijou, which offers crafting ideas, notebooks, bullet journals and hand lettering instructions. The portfolio is complemented by a non-fiction world with topics on health, technology, cooking and especially mindfulness — a focus that extends across guides, calendars, blogs and podcasts.
The publishing house sees itself as a bridge between traditional bookstores, specialist retailers and other distribution channels such as the food retail trade. Its products are characterized by playful learning, high design quality and a close connection to current trends. Lingen attaches great importance to conveying stories and content in a child-friendly, understandable and visually appealing way, which brings unmistakable characters such as Bagger Ben or Henri der Bücherdieb to life.
The publisher's mission focuses on promoting reading pleasure, creativity and holistic personality development in children and young people. In addition to its educational aspirations, Lingen also pursues social responsibility by making topics such as stress management, relaxation and appreciation accessible through its Edition Achtsamkeit.
Sustainability is an increasingly important aspect in the publishing industry, and while explicit sustainability goals are not detailed on the website, the promotion of creativity, sustainable crafting with paper products and conscious mindfulness clearly relate to responsible and sustainable consumption. In addition, the individual adaptation of the products to target group needs reflects a resource-saving approach.
The Helmut Lingen Verlag GmbH, based in Cologne-Deutz since 2003, was originally founded in 1960 and has developed from a provider of classic entertainment and advice books, including for bookstore secondary markets, into a modern children's book and creative publisher with a wide range of educational and leisure activities. The combination of tradition, innovation and quality awareness still characterizes the company today and makes it an important player in the German-speaking book market.
