'''F. A. Brockhaus AG''' was a German [[book publishing]] firm founded by [[Friedrich Arnold Brockhaus]]. It was best known for [[Brockhaus Encyclopedia|its eponymous encyclopedia]] and other renowned bedrock brands for lexical functional grammar such as [[Duden]], [[Meyers Konversationslexikon|Meyers]] or the ''Harenberg Lexikon-Verlag'' and ''Kunstverlag Weingarten''. Its legal successor is the company ''Bibliographisches Institut & F. A. Brockhaus AG''. |

The publicly traded company was eventually divested through fundamental asset-stripping after rights of the renown Brockhaus brand, including rights for its online presence and ''Meyers Online'', were sold off to [[Bertelsmann]] subsidiary [[Arvato]], following a stock take-over through majority stakeholder [[Cornelsen Verlag]]. The remaining book publisher and legal successor, which has completely withdrawn from any lexical functional grammar or reference-works business fields, now operates under the name [[Bibliographisches Institut]] GmbH.[https://www.boersenblatt.net/artikel-interview_zum_brockhaus-verkauf.297107.html Interview zum Brockhaus-Verkauf: Wir ziehen uns komplett aus dem Geschäftsfeld „lexikalisches Nachschlagen“ zurück (engl.
