Founded in 1909 in Berlin by Paul Oestergaard, grandson of Peter J. Oestergaard who produced globes at the end of the 19th century, Columbus is the oldest globe manufacturer, still working today, in the world. For more than a century Columbus has innovated the globe manufacturing industry and the experience accumulated over 4 generations has allowed Columbus to achieve the status of the world's leading globe manufacturer.
The first globes at the beginning of the 16th century. they were built under the pressure of great geographical explorations and immediately began to be used for educational purposes at princely courts, monasteries and colleges. In the 18th century, the official geographer of Louis which represents the concave surface of the sky with its constellations) and a terrestrial globe (which instead represents the surface of the Earth with its seas, islands, rivers, cities, etc.) and the techniques for making them: two hemispheres of pressed papier-mâché and modeled on or inside a hemispherical mould, left to dry and strengthened inside with a wooden board, then glued and covered with a thin layer of plaster on which the globe spindles of areas between two meridians, usually twelve, were glued each covering 30 degrees of longitude, made from paper that had previously been printed by engraving on a copper plate and then coloured.
It will be with the nineteenth century of great trade, circulation and the introduction of compulsory schooling that the desire to know distant countries will increase, making the old method of constructing globes inadequate. Spindles printed from engraved plates are no longer enough and the only real resource becomes lithography through which it is possible to promptly print and update maps which, with the growth of geographical discoveries made in various countries, become obsolete more and more rapidly.
