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 ''Hebborn & Co''.

Benché il nome ufficiale dell'azienda sia ''H. Hebborn & Co.'' essa è universalmente nota con il nome del suo marchio principale: [[Luxor]]; oltre a questo, mantenendo una ispirazione ai temi dell'antico Egitto, venne usato come marchio secondario anche ''[[Sphinx]]''. Nel [[1938]] la ditta spostò gli impianti produttivi a Colonia.

Although the company official name was ''H. Hebborn & Co.'' it was universally known by the name of its main brand: [[Luxor]]; besides this, maintaining an inspiration to the themes of ancient Egypt, it also used as a sub-brand ''[[Sphinx]]''. In [[1938]], the company moved production facilities in Cologne.
    
In the '40s, the company invented a telescopic [[piston filler]] with two concentric sections which allowed to have a much shorter mechanism, resulting in more space for the ink reservoir. The mechanism was mounted on a model called [[Luxor Teleskop| Teleskop]], and it seems that it is the same one that was later adopted also by [[Montblanc]] for its flagship models of the series [[Montblanc 13x|130]] and [[Montblanc 14x|140]].
