Abstract
Ferdinand Springer, Julius Springer, and Tönjes Lange were the owners of Springer-Verlag at the end of the Second World War. They were all past middle age, but, faced with the tangible as well as intangible ruins of their company, they worked with tremendous vigor to put it back on the right course. Under complicated conditions, they recruited personnel to resume contacts with authors, provided a framework for production, and reorganized promotion and sales. Their orientation was toward the status quo ante, meaning not the situation prior to the end of the war, but rather the reputation of the publishing house during the 1920s and early 1930s.
