Böhlau Verlag is a book and magazine publisher predominantly of humanities and social science disciplines, based in Vienna (Böhlau Verlag GmbH & Co. KG) and Cologne (Böhlau Verlag GmbH & Cie.), with a branch in Weimar. They describe their focus as being "from the historically oriented humanities". The publishing house was an independent and privately owned media corporation until it was acquired by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht in 2017. In 1853 the bookseller Hermann Böhlau (1826-1900) founded the publishing house, which would become known for its legal, linguistic and literary-historical works. Its output included Goethe's collected works in 143 volumes (1887–1919). This book series was officially known as Goethes Werke and commonly referred to as the Weimar Ausgabe (WA) of Goethe's works and as the "Sophien Edition", having been named after the patron Grand Duchess Sophie of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, the wife of Grand Duke Carl Alexander.
