Edwin Lothar HERRMANN (1914‒1987) hailed from a storied dynasty of achetiers spanning over 200 years. At the height of his craft, his bows sold for as much as those of his now better-known French colleagues. HERRMANN learned his craft from his grandfather Franz Albert (1868‒1960) & his father Edwin Otto. After completing his apprenticeship, he continued to work with his father until 1950. In 1949 he passed his master’s exam. In 1950 he opened his first workshop. In 1961 he moved to Markneukirchen, carrying on making highly sought-after bows.
