The Edler & Krische business books factory in Hanover , also known as Edler & Krische for short, with the initials E & KH and the later company logo EKAHA , was an internationally operating printing and business books factory founded in the 19th century . At the end of the 20th century, it was part of the office supplies manufacturer Esselte Leitz, which was based in Stuttgart at the time .

history

After the cichory manufacturers Johann Christoph König and Heinrich Ebhardt founded the business books factory König & Ebhardt (K & E) in the course of the industrialization of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1845 outside the gates of the royal seat , their authorized signatories founded August Edler (born February 11, 1826 in Eldagsen ; † May 7, 1894 in Hanover) and Bernhard Krische (born January 22, 1838 in Göttingen ; † September 5, 1894 in Hanover) in 1856 their own accounting book factory under the name Edler & Krische, which competed with K&E.

Although the concept of branded goods was still unknown in the middle of the 19th century, the two businesspeople gave their in-house produced items “a brand-like coat of arms ” and the initials E & KH . Later products, which were provided with the further developed company logo EKAHA , were distributed domestically and exported abroad.

After the death of the two company founders in 1894, the family company moved into a new company-owned building in Kestnerstrasse in the southern part of Hanover shortly afterwards in 1896 .

Around half a century after he moved, the factory buildings were the target of aerial bombs during the air raids on Hanover in World War II in the 1940s .

In the post-war period , the ruins of the company were replaced by a new building in 1951 based on plans by the architect Ernst Zinsser .

To 1973 was the property of the firm Noble & Krische family owned before it was acquired by the Swedish company Esselte. After this had taken over the US company Dymo a little later in 1978, the company traded as Esselte Dymo with its now considerably expanded portfolio of office supplies . Almost two decades later, the 1996 address book of the city of Hanover for the location in the state capital of Lower Saxony contained the restrictive addition “ form printing ”. In the following year, 1997, the business relocated to Anderter Strasse in Misburg . Shortly afterwards, Esselte Dymo was merged with Esselte Leitz GmbH & Co. KG , based in Stuttgart, and in 2000 the legal successor of the Hanover company Edler & Krische was deleted from the commercial register at the Hanover local court .
