Company Schaebens

After the Schaeben brothers had lost the Klosterfrau company, Wilhelm Schaeben, together with the brothers Paul and Max Henze, founded Haus Schaeben GmbH in 1933 to manufacture and sell cosmetics and pharmaceutical preparations. In 1952 Wilhelm Schaeben, who had taken over the company alone after the Second World War, took Peter Hünemeyer into the company as a partner. Wilhelm wanted to emigrate to the USA and was looking for a cooperation partner.

Peter Hünemeyer, owner of the hair tonic manufacturer A. Moras & Compagnie, primarily had capital and sales channels and was interested in Wilhelm Schaeben’s inventions and patents. This resulted in a fruitful collaboration. Wilhelm Schaeben had secured his income and the continued existence of his company and was able to emigrate to the USA in 1971. He left the company, which was transformed into a single proprietorship under Peter Hünemeyer.

Under the leadership of his son Heiko Hünemeyer, “Haus Schaebens” is now a successful medium-sized cosmetics and pharmaceutical company that manufactures an extensive range of high-quality products for health and beauty, including dietary supplements, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

The anniversary book

The anniversary book created by the history office of Reder, Roeseling & Prüfer in Cologne on the occasion of the 175th company anniversary, collects the historical facts and backgrounds and impressively sketches the history of the Schaebens Group. On a journey through time, the change that has taken place over many generations and its success story from the beginnings as a small Cologne fragrance manufacturer to today’s market leader in Germany in the mask segment can be understood. It also tells the story of the Schaeben family.
