History of a Hamburg family enterprise
The beginnings of the KRÜSS company were more than two centuries ago. At these times Napoleon Bonaparte changed the world with his military crusade, Captain James Cook travelled to Australia and New Zealand, Ludwig van Beethoven composed his first sonatas and Carl Friedrich Gauss provided the foundations of mathematical statistics.
This is also where our company’s history began, when the mechanic and optician Edmund Gabory opened his workshop in Hamburg in 1796 together with a store for the sale of measuring instruments. From this the present-day KRÜSS has developed and is now being managed in the 8th generation. The NDR produced a remarkable feature in 1965, which provides interesting insights into the company, fifty-year ago. Learn more about the eventful company history in our book.
