A Genealogy of Licenses
The first Munich bookshop was founded by Johann Shobser from Augsburg in 1500. The new trade was immediately organised after the model of the trades already established: Whoever wanted to print and sell books needed a license, a “Gerechtsame” so the official term. The different licenses are still traceable in Munich’s city archive producing a kind of genealogy of Munich’s book trade.
A shop owner who had a license would pass it down with his shop on to his son, his widow or if necessary his daughter. Outsiders could not open shops once they arrived in Munich. They either married into a license, or they bought an orphaned shop or had the protection of the court which could establish a privileged publisher and bookseller.
The arrangements were established to prevent an uncontrolled increase of traders and unwanted competition inside the city walls. The number of licenses increased even though mostly as license holders would split their businesses among their heirs – which would usually create specialised shops for either printing or bookselling.
A special quarrel evolved in the late 1690s when the von Geldern’s widow demanded a new license to be granted her employee Johann Hibler. The competitors wrote petitions with the aim to prevent the competition. Hibler was granted a special permission to sell “small books” only. His former employer, the quarrelsome widow became the first to write a petition against Hibler as he, of course, soon sold more than the small books he was allowed to sell.
In 1700 Munich had five book shops, one of them, Lucas Straub’s specialised in the printing business. A number of other shops sold prints. Their business had a field of licenses of its own.
