Columbus was founded in 1909 in Berlin by Paul Oestergaard, grandson of Peter J. Oestergaard, who manufactured globes in the late 1800s, Columbus is the oldest globe manufacturer, still working today, in the world. During more than a century, Columbus has been innovating the globe manufacturing industry, and the experience accumulated over 4 generations has enabled Columbus to achieve the status of the world's leading globe manufacturer. Its mission " A globe for every home" has led the company to export the entire world within a few years of its founding, producing globes in 24 different languages. The earliest known globe is the one attributed by Strabo, a historian and geographer, to the Greek Cratetes of Mallo (c.a. 150 B.C.). The first globes in the early 16th century were built under the impetus of the great geographical explorations and immediately began to be used for educational purposes at princely courts, monasteries, and colleges; the globe later began to conquer university circles and high and lower schools. In the 18th century, the official geographer of King Louis XV of France, Didier Robert de Vaugondy, thanks to the practice he had gained in globe making, expanded the "Globe" article in the Encyclopédie by detailing the distinction between a celestial globe (representing the concave surface of the sky with its constellations) and a terrestrial globe (representing instead the surface of the Earth with its seas, islands, rivers, cities, etc.) and the techniques for making them.
