The Passionate Typewriter Enthusiasts

Two young men, Jakob Kramp and Paul Hallmanns, are avid collectors and restorers of vintage typewriters. Their workshop and store showcase over 100 historical models, including iconic brands like Olivetti, Remington, and Underwood.

Notable pieces in their collection are The Oliver Typewriter from 1900, the pioneering Mercedes Elektra electric typewriter, and the well-used Olivetti Lettera 22. Their dedication to preserving these literary relics attracts customers ranging from enthusiasts to writers.

Their unique items, often accompanied by family anecdotes, contribute to the Museum of Communication Berlin's narrative of 130 years of typewriter evolution. From physics to wine economics, their academic pursuits align with their shared passion.

Hallmanns even plans to bring an Olivetti Ico travel typewriter to Bologna for a semester abroad.
