COHR:
On April 25, 1860 a young goldsmith named Ditlev Madsen Cohr opened his workshop in Fredericia where he made his living by manufacturing and selling 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. Carl then quickly introduced mechanical manufacturing methods to the business and in 1895 he began to produce hollowware.
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 and innovative 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, the Cohr company survived. 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.
