Originally, the publisher began with the publication of religious prints and prayer books as well as devotional items such as holy cards. After 1912, the publisher also published theological books. At the end of the 1920s, arsEdition expanded its program to include children's books. The publisher was taken over by Marcel Nauer in 1979, which led to a radical restructuring. Since 2000, arsEdition has been part of the Bonnier Group. Today, the publisher is divided into three core areas: children's books, gift books, and non-book items. In 2004, the series 'Secret Worlds' was launched with the title 'Expedition into the Secret World of Dragons'. Well-known authors and illustrators of the publisher include Isabel Abedi, Marliese Arold, and Ida Bohatta.
