The Gutenberg Shop

Why not become an ambassador for Gutenberg, the progenitor of our trade, with your range of products?

Select bookshops and participating partners now include Gutenberg Shop merchandise in their stock and in doing so are promoting the international standing of Johannes Gutenberg. Please have a look at our catalogue below and ask for our trade prices.

Please send your order to order(at)gutenberg-shop.de. We’d be happy to answer any questions you might have on +49 6131 220469.

Supporting us with your purchases

The Gutenberg Shop is run by the Gutenberg Foundation, a non-profit organisation. Volunteers work in all of the departments. Together, we aim to increase the standing of Johannes Gutenberg worldwide and support the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany.

All profits from the Gutenberg Shop go to the Gutenberg Museum, the world museum of printing. 

Upholding ancient craft techniques 

Our products are created with great technical skill and care. We work with materials that have always been traditionally used in printing, such as paper, ink, wood, leather and metal. 

We produce practically all of our gifts in Germany and Europe and promote ancient craft techniques such as papermaking, penmanship, engraving, bookbinding – and of course printing. The art of book illumination in particular is also being revived in our valuable reproductions of individual pages from the Gutenberg Bible.

Sustainable right from the start

Sustainability and the constant control of the quality of our products and sources have been important to us since we founded the Gutenberg Shop almost 30 years ago. With each purchase from the Gutenberg Shop you acquire products of the highest quality from a certifi ed origin. You also support ancient cultural techniques and the Gutenberg Museum.

The team – voluntary work as a matter of principle

Approximately 30 volunteers from Mainz work at the shops. They sell items in our two stores, help out in the office and – if needs be – occasionally also in the warehouse. They are also on hand when the museum makes an appearance at trade shows and assist us at festive galas and book fairs. Out of pure idealism they give the Gutenberg Museum the most precious commodity they have: their free time.

Join us and help!

Our team at the Gutenberg Shop is always pleased to welcome new helpers. If you like selling things and engaging with other people, then please get in touch! Contact:
