Later years
Meidingers Jugendschriften Verlag’s main office was at Globus Verlag, but it was known as Meidingers Jugendschriften Verlag GmbH. Until 1908 the headquarters was at Voßstraße 33 in Berlin W 9, then in the Kaiserhofstraße 1, Berlin W 66. From 1919 all publishers belonging to Wertheim moved to a new business address at Wilhelmstraße 45, Berlin W 66 (later W 8 at Postbezirk 1). At the same time Globus founded their own book printing company, the Globushaus Druckerei, Berlin W 66.[3][4]

Aryanization
After the National Socialist seizure of power in 1933 and the associated Aryanization of Wertheim, the changes in Meidingers Jugendschriften Verlag are difficult to follow. Around 1937, the company moved to Bellevuestraße 5 in Berlin W 9. In 1939 the Managing Director Emil Kersten liquidated Meidingers. In 1941 all Meidingers’ books went out of print and existing stocks went to the Globus Verlag GmbH.
