History

Mainly high-quality copper engravings of townscapes, so-called Hamburgensien were sold in the second half of the 19th century. After World War II, Günther Berendsohn re-established the company in 1948 with the sole business purpose of selling promotional articles. Within a decade, the entrepreneur turned a 'one-man band' into a company with 50 employees and an annual turnover of DM 5 million. The company continued to expand and in 1964 opened new markets in France, Italy, Norway, Austria, Sweden and Switzerland. Additional markets opened in Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain by 2007.
