The DBH Deutsche Buch Handels GmbH & Co. KG ((英語:German Book Trading Inc. with sole general partner with a limited commercial partnership)) based in Munich competes for being the major booktrading company in Germany with his rival Thalia which belongs to the Douglas Holding AG. The DBH was established in 2006 as a Holding and belongs at 50% to the Hugendubel Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG ((英語:Hugendubel Holding Inc.)) and the Verlagsgruppe Weltbild GmbH.〔http://www.buchmarkt.de/downloads/BM_EXTRA.pdf〕 The DBH arose from the longtime cooperation between these two companies as a joint venture. Shareholders of the Verlagsgruppe Weltbild are 14 dioceses of the Roman Catholic Church in Germany〔(Gesellschafter: Bistümer suchen Käufer für Weltbild - IT + Medien - Unternehmen - Handelsblatt )〕〔(Augsburg: Kirche behält Weltbild - Nachrichten Augsburg - Augsburger Allgemeine )〕 and the Soldatenseelsorge Berlin ((英語:religious welfare for soldiers)). The DBH stated a volume of 675 million Euro for the first accounting year (2006). The company manages about 465 branches of both of the proprietor companies with about 3500 employees (effective: 2006). In Germany, Austria and Switzerland there are the subsidiaries Hugendubel (34 branches), ''Weiland'' (33), ''Buch Habel'' (17), ''Schmorl und von Seefeld'' (2), ''Wohlthat'sche Buchhandlung'' (about 50), ''Weltbild''/''Weltbild Plus''/''Weltbild Best'' (about 260), ''Jokers Restseller'' (18), ''Weltbild!'' (12), ''A&M and AM!'' (35).〔(Buchhandlungen: DBH Buch Handels GmbH & Co. KG | )〕〔http://redax.weltbild.com/frontend/pressemitteilung.php?id=283〕〔http://www.weltbild.com/download/1-151/〕 Since July 2008, the DBH owns 44 of the 89 book departments of the Karstadt group. The remaining 45 departments were closed and the employees were moved to other departments. Thalia tried the same but lost the competition for the partnership with Karstadt.〔''Süddeutsche Zeitung'', 4 October 2007, S. 27〕〔(Sortiment: Weltbild und Hugendubel steigen bei Karstadt ein | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 The acquisition of the 44 departments was approved by the Federal Cartel Office (Germany) in April 2008.〔http://www.prcenter.de/DBH-Karstadt-Gruenes-Licht-vom-Kartellamt-Hugendubel-und-Weltbild-starten-zum-1-Juli-2008-mit-44-Buchshops-im-Karstadt-Warenhaus.16079.html〕 Eight further departments (in Kiel, Leipzig, Wiesbaden, Frankfurt and Munich) stayed unapproved for a while because of antitrust objections.〔(DBH/Karstadt: Kartellamt genehmigt Zusammenschluss | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 Since 2009, huge measures of restructuring were adopted in the group for reducing personnel costs.〔(Kommentar: Die "Star Alliance" sinkt zu steil | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕〔(Großbuchhändler in der Krise: Kein Einfachhandel - Bücher - FAZ )〕 As a first step, it began with layoffs in the partner company of the DBH, the Weltbild Verlagsgruppe.〔(Weltbild : Weltbild vor Neuausrichtung | Verlage | boersenblatt.net )〕〔(Weltbild: Jobabbau in Augsburg | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 Since May 2009, more layoffs followed in the dependent ''Weltbild plus''.〔(Sortiment: Weltbild streicht 322 Stellen | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 Because there were no works councils established, the abolishment of more than 320 posts could be accomplished unhindered and fast.〔(Arbeitsplatzabbau bei der DBH: DBH: Tour de Tortour durch Deutschland | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 Since 30 June 2009, the back offices of ''Buch Habel'' (Darmstadt) and the ''Wohlthat'sche Buchhandlung'' (Berlin) were closed. The administration of these companies moved completely to the central office of the DBH.〔(DBH / Hugendubel: Hugendubel greift bei Buch Habel zum Rotstift | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕〔(Sortiment: Wohlthat-Verwaltung zieht zur DBH nach München | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 Huge rounds of dismissals followed at ''Buch Habel'',〔(Arbeitsplatzabbau bei der DBH: Kehraus bei Buch Habel: Der Entlassungswelle folgt eine Kostenwelle | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 ''Hugendubel'' 〔(Stellenabbau: Hugendubel und Buch Habel: 285 Arbeitsplätze fallen weg | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 and ''Wohlthat'' . At ''Wohlthat'', the measure could be largely implemented unchecked and closed to the public. In Berlin and Potsdam, the local works council was able to delay and to arouse public interest supported by the trade union Ver.di.〔(ver.di: Pressemitteilungen )〕〔(Stellenabbau bei der DBH: Wohlthat´sche: Entlassungen in Berlin | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕〔(Ein-Mann-Laden: Wohlthat’sche Buchhandlung spart Personal - Wirtschaft - Tagesspiegel )〕 Similar processes happened before at ''Buch Habel'' and ''Hugendubel''.〔(DBH: Hugendubel und Buch Habel: Stellenabbau verzögert sich | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 In November, 2009, the labour conflict started at ''Wohlthat''.〔(Streit um Wohlthat’sche eskaliert - buchreport - Nachrichten Handel )〕〔(Nachrichten - BerlinOnline.de )〕 In the end of 2009, the work councils in the DBH group established a ''Konzernbetriebsrat'' (i.e. a works council which is authorised to bargain local issues on trust level). This happened for expanding workers participation in the departments. The ''Konzernbetriebsrat'' is able to kick-start elections for works councils in those enterprises which have difficulties to manage this on their own. Besides this task, the local works councils (which have much more power than the ''Konzernbetriebsrat'' in their range but none beyond) shall get an efficient early warning system to be on notice of new plannings of the group management.〔(ver.di: Konzernbetriebsrat bei der DBH )〕〔(Konzernbetriebsrat bei der DBH - buchreport - Nachrichten Handel )〕 The DBH uses the same ERP system in all of its dependents but didn't conduct centralised purchasing up to now. Other than the competitor Thalia, so far the single dependents keep their origin firm's names. On the managements admission, the dependents shall keep their company profile as well.〔(Sortiment: Zwei Arten von Spaß | Sortiment | boersenblatt.net )〕 Like the other huge German bookstore chains (Thalia and Mayersche) the DBH uses the capacities of logistics and central warehouse of the German book wholesaler Libri. ==Footnotes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DBH Deutsche Buch Handels GmbH & Co.
