Brockhaus

Brockhaus provides online reference works, courses, student training, and digital teaching materials for private customers, schools, and libraries. Its online encyclopedia offers expert-reviewed information across subject areas and is regularly updated. The School Lexicon supports secondary students doing research and preparing presentations or coursework, while the Children’s Lexicon presents child-oriented content through clickable graphics, images, video, and audio. A reading aid can read text aloud and translate articles into more than 60 languages. Brockhaus says subject experts and trained educators create its reference and course materials, which an independent editorial team checks. The service works on internet-connected digital devices. The company states that its servers are hosted in the EU and that it uses SSL encryption for data sent through its websites. The Children’s Lexicon is described as ad-free, without external links, and GDPR-compliant. Individual plans have a 14-day free trial. Adult encyclopedia plans cost €6.99 a month or €69.99 a year; teen and child plans cost €8.99 a month or €89.99 a year.
