Formed in 1850 as “Friedrich Hörster”, later “F. Hörster & Co.”, the firm was renamed “E. & F. Hörster” in 1870 by Friedrich Emil and Fritz Hörster and registered in May 1872. It made swords, sabres, bayonets and fencing foils from the 1800s to the 1910s, and cavalry swords, sabres and M84 bayonets in World War I.
