La [[Luxor]] venne fondata nel [[1925]] a Heidelberg da ''Heinrich Hebborn''. La giovane età gli evitò la partecipazione diretta alla prima guerra mondiale, ed iniziò a lavorare molto presto in una cartiera finché intorno al 1921 conobbe ad Heidelberg ''Rudolph Weber'', socio di riferimento della Kaweco, con la quale iniziò a collaborare diventando responsabile della filiale di Colonia. Nel 1925 si associò ad un commerciante di origini ebraiche, ''Leo Boettigheimer'', che morirà poi nel campo di Auschwitz nel 1943, ed ad un venditore [[Kaweco]], Heinrich Schlicksupp. I tre insieme dettero vita allla Hebborn & Co.
