About The
Company
The company went public in 1999 and -
because of the illustrations on the certificate - the stock became
immediately a collectors item.
In Germany, Beate Uhse is considered
to be the pioneer of sexual liberty. She was born in Prussia, daughter of a
large landowner and she was one of Germany's first physicians. At the age of
17 she got her flying certificate and she fought in the German airforce
during World war II. At the age of 73 she still flew.
Right after the war, when the soldiers
returned home, the need for birth control means was great, but
contraceptives were scarce. She wrote a small pamphlet on the Knaus-Ogino
contraception method, based on monitoring the female cycle in combination
with periodical continence. She sold a total of 60.000 of these for 2
Reichsmark a piece under the mysterious name "Schrift X". The method was
imperfect, but better than nothing she felt. Shortly after that she engaged
in a contract with a rubber company, the start of her mail order firm.
In 1949 (others say 1951) she started
her company in Flensburg, a post order firm "for marital- and sex literature
and for hygienic articles". In 1962 she opened the first German sex shop,
called "Institute for marital hygiene". Later she started a film production
company.
In 1981 she divided the company under her three sons. In 1999 the company
went public on the German stock exchange. The turnover in 2000 was 300
million DM, in 206 European shops.
Starting as and always remaining an
idealist, she gradually felt less at ease with the developments and
character of the industry. On the other hand she felt pleased that her
activities gradually became accepted, not only in the business world, but
also in society at large. She certainly had to fight a long way building her
company: a total of 3000 legal cases have been brought against her (beating
Microsoft and Coca Cola ?), of which she seems to have lost only one.
Explaining part of her ideals she said
in a recent TV interview: "Not everyone that makes music at home is a
concert virtuoso. That also holds for husbands and spouses in bed. My shops
are there to teach them a little".
She died in July 2001 at the age of 81
