On April 25, 1860 a young goldsmith
named Ditlev Madsen Cohr opened his workshop in Fredericia where he made his
living on the manufacture and sale of hand-forged silver flatware. In 1883 he
passed away, and his widow led the business until the eldest son, the
25-year-old Carl Madsen Cohr, could take over.
When Carl M. Cohr died in 1925, Harald
Lützen became the president of the company with Carl's son Einar Cohr as vice
president. The Cohr company had largest silverware factory of its time, and
used the designs of several famous designers: Mr Eduart Eggeling, Knud V .
Engelhardt, Sigfred Wagner, Mogens Koch and HF Gross.
International recognition came after
the world exhibition in Brussels 1935 and Paris 1937 under the artistic
direction of HP Jacobsen. Through the German occupation in 1940-45, Cohr
survived by reclaiming old silver and attempting to work with other metals such
as plated zinc, "bronze" and spoons and forks made of aluminum.
During the 50's Silversmith Hans Bunde's designs were also crucial to Cohrs
success and brought much recognition to the company's name even today.
