This month marks the 75th anniversary
of the foundation of Sennheiser in June 1945. Throughout the years, Sennheiser
has been telling the stories and creating sound experiences for their customers
across the globe. It has been 75 years since prof. Dr. Fritz Sennheiser founded
the “start-up” that would become Sennheiser in a farmhouse near Hanover . Today, the
company he created is still driven by the same passion for sound and spirit of
discovery.
A university lecturer
turned entrepreneur by the necessities of post-war reconstruction, Fritz
Sennheiser founded a small company known as “Laboratory Wennebostel” to build
audio equipment to help reform the destroyed infrastructure and aid
communication. After initially making vacuum-tube voltmeter and measuring
devices, the company received an order in the summer of 1945 to build
microphones. The rest, as they say, is history: Fritz Sennheiser’s company
would go on to innovate numerous audio products and eventually become the
globally successful brand that bears his name still today.
Due to the ongoing
pandemic, Sennheiser could not celebrate their 75 years, as planned, however,
they are sharing 75 stories to provide a unique insight to the world of
Sennheiser: Together they show what has brought Sennheiser this far: it’s
people who share the same passion for music and always strive for the best
possible audio experience.
For celebrating their 75th anniversary,
Sennheiser has made a special anniversary website- www.sennheiser.com/75years - which includes
multimedia collection of stories from employees, customers, friends and fans
exemplifies what makes Sennheiser so special: all are united by the same
passion.
