history
In 1850 the Hallgarten merchant Johann Carl Bohn joined the company Maschinenfabrik Klein, Forst & Bohn, Johannisberg as a partner , which had been producing the first high-speed presses for printing since 1847 and steam engines and bridges from 1867. Due to differences of opinion, Bohn left the company in 1871 and founded the high-speed press factory Bohn & Herber in 1873 with Adolf Herber from Eltville in Würzburg in the Grombühl district near the train station . The aim was to build simple and inexpensive high-speed presses. In 1880 about 70 people were employed in the Bohn machine factory. From 1891, Bohn & Herber manufactured platen printing presses with a swinging foundation with innovations in the cylinder inking unit, which were patented under number DE66029.
In 1937 the printing machine manufacturer Koenig & Bauer took over Bohn & Herber.
A high-speed stop cylinder press from Bohn & Herber from 1890 is exhibited in the Museum of Labor in Hamburg-Barmbek.
A semi-automatic stone printing machine from Bohn & Herber from 1895 is on display in the Museum of Printing Technology in Rankweil (Vorarlberg). Originally this machine was used for printing ampoule labels in the Basel pharmaceutical industry.
A stop or stop cylinder press of the Accidenz N ° 5 type from Bohn & Herber from 1900 is exhibited in the Grevenmacher Printing Museum in Luxembourg. It belongs to the first generation of high-speed presses.
Company publications can be found in the archive of the Deutsches Museum .
