- freemint 5y agoI am not aware of any ownership relations, overlap of board members or them interacting in a comparative manner. I am not aware that any in of the two companies the name giving family plays a significant role in day to day operations.
- cf141q5325 5y agoIts a claim publicly made by the older Springer Verlag. They ran advertisements in the 60s titling "Springer ist nicht Springer". >Springer isnt Springer. Every chessgame has two knights (Springer) which are easy to mix up. In publishing there are also two Springer, who dont share anything but the word Springer, but are often mixed up as a result. >... >Between the two publishers no family or economic ties exist. edit: Obviously in the context of the Springer blockade by the student movement. The advertisement in question is from the Konkret issue number 6 of 1968 page 35 Bad translation obviously.
