He was invited to Paris in 1469 by the rector of the Sorbonne University , Johann Heynlin and his colleague Guillaume Fichet . The last two selected and edited texts that Goering printed with his partners Michael Friburger and Martin Krantz. Between 1470 and 1472, 22 editions were published in the printing house. Their first book and, accordingly, the first book published in France, were the Letters by Gasparen de Bergamo (1470).
By the end of 1472, the enterprise that existed at the university’s money was closed, and three printers left the Sorbonne to establish their own printing press under the banner of “Soleil d'Or” (“Golden Sun”) on Rue Saint-Jacques in Paris. At the end of 1477, the partners dispersed, and Goering continued to print books alone. In 1483 he moved to Sorbonskaya Street. In 1484–1494 the books printed in Soleil d'Or are named after Jean Higman (Jean Higman; 1484–1489) and George Wolfe (George Wolf; 1490–1492). Goering reappears in the printing house since 1494. His partner was Bertholt Rembolt (Berthold Rembolt), who continued to print books alone after 1508, when Ulrich Goering again left the typography.
