It's great to see and hear the history. I'm glad that Pelikan has kept using the building versus tearing it down and putting in some modern design. There was so much more character and charm in the old buildings. I liked how Willie made a point about how few machines there were and the work being done by people. I think there is something to be said for people doing the work.
That was fantastic. How amazing the company and all those artifacts survived the Franco-Prussian War, two world wars, the Cold War, and reunification...and just yesterday a guy from Texas (me) bought a brand new Pelikan at an office supply store in Poland. Thanks for sharing your tour.
Thank you for this wonderful report from Pelikan Factory, a lot of history, I remember I used it this products in the 70's in Peru (South America), when I was in the school, the products were really good, last for ever and make everything right. Thank you Guys from Germany, you make really good Products.
Thank you for a fascinating video. As a devoted Pelikan fan- with many, many of their pens (more than I care to admit to!) I found this video really informative and interesting. One day I must try to travel to Hannover and visit the wonderful factory. It would be great if you could do more historical videos, surveying the different stages of Pelikan pen evolution. Thank you once again for posting this!
🥰 24:36 omg this is beautiful. This is History i like😍. I own more Pelikan Inks and i like them. I dont have yet any Fountain Pen, but they looks pretty. Thank you very much for sharing this Video. 👌✌️✒️
I hope you realized you should have worn a suit. If your suppliers and consequently your hosts wear suits and ties, it shows a lack of respect for them and the occasion when you arrive in jeans and a down coat. Especially to an old, traditional and revered company like Pelican. I think it paints the US casualness in a poor light.
Susan Bradford I was about to comment the same. I have studied / worked in Germany and Japan and whenever we would have American guests at the company, many seniors would joke that we would know when the Americans arrived, because they would be dressed as if they were going to the corner pub. It's not like the Germans or Japanese would find their attire actually offensive, but it surely lent them a sense of disheveled lack of reverence. The short sleeves here are particularly disturbing.
I want to go visit! Planning a trip to Hanover!

I wanted my Pelikan, received my Pelikans, but now appreciate my Pelikans even more but learning the history. Thanks so much for sharing.

Some pictures of 1930 were taken in wide angles. Amazing!
The Holy Grail , a fountain pen vending machine !!!

really really interesting to see those archives and to know that already 100 years ago they cared so much to their workers :D wow!
I love history and I love Pelikan pens, so I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you so much!
Wow, really nice, I have been many times near the factory without knowing it was there!
27:45 why is it not surprising that Henry Ford had ties to Germany in 1935 lol
thank you so much for the tour

We are American. Our culture is different. I wouldn’t expect a European to dress down for us. Let us celebrate our own unique ways.
@@StitchxaviAll very PC but When in Rome we should follow their lead. I for one am embarrassed for them.
