Mettler & Salz was a Swiss publishing house. It was founded in the 20th century by Mettler and Georges Salz, and was based in Tscharnerstrasse 14 a in Bern. It contributed to spread freethought in Switzerland during the Interwar period and World War II by publishing mainly novels, monographs and scientific literature.

Publishing program

[edit]

As an academic publisher, Mettler & Salz was specialized in humanities natural sciences. The publishing house also served Georges Salz as a self-publishing house for his travel literature. Mettler & Salz published during 18 years the organ of the Freethinkers Association of Switzerland.[1] It published specialized freethought books by Leo Heinrich Skrbensky and Ernst Akert, and with Hans Moehrlen's novel Between Two Worlds (1942) it also published fictional literature.
