history
Carol von Rautenkranz and Pascal Fuhlbrügge got to know each other through music reports they wrote for the comic book fanzine Eisbrecher , and on June 6, 1986 they founded the agency L'âge d'Or, which runs every three months (under the motto Hamburg plus the Year) organized festival series in Altona . In the meantime von Rautenkranz and his brother Chris von Rautenkranz set up a recording studio and created the cassette sampler Vorwärts Hamburg '87. In 1988 they founded the L'âge d'Or label . The first record they put out was Fishing For Compliments by Die-Gants, Carol von Rautenkranz's band. Afterwards they released Der Final Abschluss Des Erdgasröhrengeschäftes !, the album by the band Der Schwarze Kanal, in which Eike Bohlken and Andre Rattay played, who later founded the band Blumfeld with Jochen Distelmeyer . The third album was the debut of the band Kolossale Jugend , Heile Heile Boches. .
After a while there were the first employees, and Thorsten "Taucher" Weßel from the band Ostzonensuppewürfelmachenkrebs joined the team, who later also became a partner, while Pascal Fuhlbrügge left after five years of working together.
The publications were mainly influenced by the Hamburg School and had financial success with Die Sterne and Tocotronic in the mid-1990s.
In 1994 the Ladomat2000 sub-label for electronic music and Gold Musikverlag were founded. L'âge d'Or and Ladomat2000 stopped working in 2007 due to liquidity problems.
