The [[Luxor]] was founded in [[1925]] in Heidelberg by ''Heinrich Hebborn''. His young age avoided him to go in the WWI and he started working at a paper mill until, around 1921, he meet in Heidelberg ''Rudolph Weber'', a [[Kaweco]] shareholder, with which he began to collaborate becoming head of the Cologne branch. In 1925 he associated with a merchant of Jewish origins, ''Leo Boettigheimer'' (who later died in Auschwitz in 1943) and with a [[Kaweco]] agent, Heinrich Schlicksupp. The three together gave birth to ''"H. Hebborn & Co."''.

The activities of the [[Luxor]] ended around the 70s with the acquisition by the [[Parker]] German branch, and today the brand is no more.
