buecher.de is a German online retailer for media, operating as one of the country's leading internet mail order companies. The firm was originally founded in Augsburg in 1999 as booxtra GmbH & Co. KG. A pivotal moment in the company's history occurred in November 2001 with the acquisition of the 'buecher.de' domain and brand rights from the liquidating Mediantis AG. This strategic move allowed the company, which officially rebranded as buecher.de in 2005, to multiply its revenue, reaching 25 million euros in the same year.
The business operates on a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model, generating revenue through the online sale of a wide array of products. Its catalog features over 15 million items, including books, e-books, audiobooks, films, music, games, software, and toys. This extensive selection caters to a broad consumer base, from book lovers to gamers and families. The company emphasizes a straightforward purchasing process, with no minimum order value and multiple payment options, including invoicing. To drive sales and customer acquisition, buecher.de runs an affiliate program, offering commissions to partners who generate sales through their platforms.
Over the years, the ownership structure of buecher.de has seen several changes, involving entities like T-Online, Verlagsgruppe Weltbild, and Springer. In November 2024, following the insolvency of its parent company, WB D2C Group, buecher.de was acquired by Thalia Bücher GmbH, a major omnichannel book retailer. This acquisition, approved by the German Federal Cartel Office, ensures the continuation of the buecher.de brand and the retention of its employees. The company, now operating as buecher.de internetstores GmbH, continues to be managed by a team that includes longtime managing director Günter Hilger.
