History/Description
As a city of books and publishing, they were Leipzig’s pride and joy: the often gigantic printing companies like Spamer or Oskar Brandstetter were among the largest on the continent and equipped with all technical achievements of the age. The Drugulin printing office was never one of the biggest. Yet, it was unique because of its range of types – including not just roman and blackletter, but also other cultures’ scripts, including cuneiform, hieroglyphs, and Chinese; even typefaces for Ethiopian, Palmyrene, Samaritan, and many more. Drugulin even surpassed large government-run printing houses in this regard, such as the Imprimerie National or the Wiener Staatsdruckerei.
Of all the large Leipzig printing companies, only one survived World War II’s night-time bombing raids and the subsequent political changes: the Offizin Haag-Drugulin – OHD in German. While it did not retain its employee-count, it did keep its typeface assortment. On the contrary, this even increased. In September 1992, the typographer and passionate type expert Eckehart SchumacherGebler acquired the traditional company. He owned a respected typesetting studio in Munich, with a wealth of interesting typefaces for hand-setting. Combined with OHD, this created a “Treasury of Typefaces”. That was possible because the Munich holdings mostly dated from the period after 1950. These wonderfully complemented Haag-Drugulin’s assortment, which dated back to the 19th century, resulting in an unmatched collection.
But there are not just foundry types. Five Monotype machines are in operation, including a rare one for Large Composition, another for two-colour typesetting and two Supras. Several thousand sets of matrices supplement these, containing all the significant alphabets from the Monotype program. They leave little to be desired, making the collection one of the most comprehensive in the world. The printing press room is similarly well equipped. Two Heidelberg cylindrical presses are available for bibliophile book editions, plus several jobbing presses and large-format proof presses. That should suffice for an overview of the company’s technical equipment.
Perhaps even more important than the variety of typefaces, matrices and machines are the well-trained employees that use their skills to bring the technical possibilities to life – not a matter-of-course today – because skilled compositors and printers are hard to find. And they can also only be trained in a place where they use their skills practically and pass them. Therefore, OHD dedicates itself to this task as well. The Offizin Haag-Drugulin is currently located in Dresden.
