Foundation of the Heidelberger Federhalterfabrik (Heidelberg dip pen factory) by the gentlemen Luce and Enßlen. Although the Kaweco name was not listed in the Heidelberg directory until 1889. Wooden dip pens are produced; fountain pens and golden nibs are imported from Morton in New York. The success of Kaweco today can be largely attributed to inspiration through historical products of earlier periods. The brand's history and the nostalgic design of its products are deeply intertwined with modern technology.
