In 1811 Brockhaus moved his company to Altenburg and in 1818 he built his own printing house in Leipzig. The publishing house also owned an editorial bookshop and an antiquarian bookshop. The paternal business was continued by his sons Friedrich and Heinrich, followed by his grandchildren and various descendants. In 1943 the Leipzig headquarters was completely destroyed by bombing and the new headquarters was moved to Wiesbaden in 1945.
