Who is behind JAHN REISEN?
Friedrich Jahn founded the company in Munich on 1 May 1979. Three years later he sold it to the LTU group in Düsseldorf. Since 1 January 2001 the brand has belonged to REWE Touristik, which now trades as DER Touristik and is part of the DERTOUR Group within the REWE Group. In 2023 DER Touristik announced that it would focus its consumer business on the brands Dertour, ITS and Meiers Weltreisen. JAHN REISEN was integrated into Dertour and the catalogues were discontinued. We could not conclusively verify through an imprint which company legally stands behind the brand today.
What is JAHN REISEN known for?
JAHN REISEN was a package tour operator. We cannot document specific destinations or hotel brands for it, because its own website is no longer operated. According to Dertour, package holidays are meant to include the same services customers knew from JAHN REISEN, and the Dertour range is larger than the former programme. The trade press reports the brand can still be found in agency booking systems such as Bistro. According to Dertour, the customer account Mein JAHN REISEN is kept with its data.
