Weltbild is a German publishing, mail order and book retailing company based in Augsburg. The Weltbild Group is owned by the Droege International Group AG, a consulting and investment company based in Düsseldorf. The Weltbild brand emerged from the Catholic magazine publisher Winfried-Werk GmbH, founded by Josef Hall in 1948. Weltbild is also a major multi-channel bookseller and serves customers via online stores, direct marketing, its own stores and social networks. Weltbild, together with the Thalia Group and the Mayerschen bookstore chains, was one of the driving forces behind chain store expansion in the book retailing sector, with acquisitions of owner-operated bookstores and the founding of new bookstores. In addition, in 2014 the financial company Droege International Group acquired 60% of the business shares. (Source: Wikipedia)
