The Staedtler Company (pencil manufacturers) is founded…
October 1835 CE
The name Staedtler is closely linked with Nuremberg's pencil history.
Long before J.S. Staedtler founded his pencil making factory within Nuremberg's old city walls, the Staedtler family had already been hand-making this well-loved writing instrument for generations.
The roots of the name Staedtler can be traced back to 1662, the year in which the first references to Friedrich Staedtler as a pencil-making craftsman were made in the city annals.
On October 3, 1835, J.S. Staedtler receives permission from the municipal council to produce blacklead, red chalk and pastel pencils in his industrial plant.
