[[Astoria]] was founded in [[1921]] in Hamburg by ''Georg Ilgner'', which until then had been the [[Montblanc]] director of the production. These, with the financial support of Herman Dietzel, Sigmund Popper and  Wilhelm Frings left [[Montblanc]] to start his own business. [[Astoria]] began producing very good quality [[safety]] pens, very similar to those of [[Montblanc]]. Even the company logo, consisting of a circle divided into four segments of alternating black and white color likes a lot, if only for the contrast of black and white color, the one of the company Ilgner came.

La [[Astoria]] venne fondata nel [[1921]] ad Amburgo da ''Georg Ilgner'', che fino ad allora era stato il direttore della produzione della [[Montblanc]]. Questi, con il supporto finanziario di Herman Dietzel, Sigmund Popper e Wilhelm Frings lasciò la [[Montblanc]] per mettersi in proprio. La [[Astoria]] iniziò a produrre penne [[rientranti]] di ottima qualità, molto simili a quelle della [[Montblanc]]. Anche il logo dell'azienda, costituito da un cerchio suddiviso in quattro spicchi di colore alternato bianco e nero richiama molto, se non altro per il contrasto di colore bianco e nero, quello dell'azienda da cui Ilgner proveniva.

In addition to the [[safety]] models [[Astoria]] also produced [[lever filler]] pens with and a good number of  good quality [[overlay]] pens, coated in gold and silver. The company suffered a financial crisis in the early 30s, and in [[1932]] was reacquired by the [[Montblanc]] that maintained the production of pens with this brand until [[1936]], at least as regards the main production facility in Germany.
