The Westermann Bildungsmedien Verlag is our publishing house for general educational materials. Our complete programme consists of over 15,000 titles that cater to all ages, school types, subjects and regional requirements. We offer a range of respected titles for mathematics and the sciences, pragmatic products for German, the humanities and all subjects of primary schools, as well as a comprehensive programme for foreign languages. Our acclaimed cartographic range includes the Diercke Atlas, a fixture in German classrooms since 1883.

The Westermann Gruppe is the market leader in e-learning, focusing on the development of digital applications such as educational apps and learning platforms. Our digital portfolio covers a broad spectrum. We offer Maths textbooks for primary schools on our ‘BiBox’ platform, a fully digitised edition of our Diercke Atlas and our long-running reading support platform, ‘Antolin’. We have also developed the successful ‘Online Diagnose’ platform, allowing teachers to monitor their students learning and development, as well as the learning platform ‘Kapiert.de’ for secondary school students.

Our comprehensive vocational programme, covering nearly all recognised professions, has established the Westermann Gruppe as the leading provider of vocational education materials. Our entire vocational portfolio is managed by Westermann Berufliche Bildung in Cologne.

Our vocational portfolio covers professions such as commerce, technical industries, nursing and social welfare. We offer a diverse range of educational materials tailored to both full-time vocational schools and individuals in further education and vocational training. All textbooks are also available via the Westermann learning platform BiBox. Other digital products include the GEORG learning portal, a portal to learn the content of various vocational training programmes, and the sicherbestehen.de portal, for the effective preparation of final exams.

Since 2018 we have grouped our former brands Westermann, Bildungsverlag EINS and Winklers under the Westermann brand.

The publishing house Westermann Lernwelten develops innovative educational materials outside of the traditional school textbook. These materials can be used for preschool and out of school and private development, as well as in day care. Westermann also offers titles for both speech therapy and occupational therapy for children.  They are also used in schools independently of our textbooks. Our portfolio includes educational games, lab kits, workbooks, master copies, flash cards, teaching aids and mock exams. Westermann Lernwelten is responsible for Westermann, LÜK, SCHUBI and Spectra. 

One of the most popular products is the LÜK learning system, which is now used in 35 countries. With LÜK, children solve factual and concentration tasks and can then check their answers themselves. In addition, the Nikitin building blocks, number towers and dice are among the publisher's best-known products. And for in-depth learning and exam preparation, the FiNALE and Fit fürs Abi series have become well established products. 

Additionally, Westermann Lernwelten also operates ‘lernando’, the patform for parents who want to support their children in learning.
