Hugo Köller Stahlwarenfabrik began in 1861 and registered with the Solingen authorities on 25 September 1894. In July 1895 it registered its trademark of an eagle clutching a straight razor and a table knife. In 1900 Hugo and Walter Köller were owners; Rudolf Köller succeeded Hugo in 1914 and remained an owner until 1930, and Walter Köller was sole owner from 1930 to 1939. The firm made cutlery, kitchen knives, hardware, pocket knives, straight razors and scissors, and close-combat knives in World War I.
