    One important thing here: Springer and Axel Springer are two different publishers. Springer is a publisher for scientific books and has nothing to do with Axel Springer, which is the publisher behind problematic newspapers like Bild, Welt or Politico.

        I’m not exactly sure but at least their logo just says Springer. Just wanted to point that out for people who might not know, because I was once confused about if they have anything to do with each other.

          Sure that would be possible, I just thought that Springer is a relatively common name.
          Apparently it has changed name at some point, so now it’s called Springer Science+Business Media, with companies just called Springer.

          I used a few books from Springer-Verlag back in the 90’s, despite it’s harder for me to read German than English, they had a few books that were absolutely stellar.
          It would be very sad if those were related to Axel Springer.
