Timeless classics and exciting new products await you in the factory outlet.

Building — Entrance to the Pelikan ink tower.

A particular highlight is our historic ballroom:
it regularly hosts rotating exhibitions and exclusive events—an inspiring space that brings history to life.

Learning to write is a truly special moment: it opens doors to new worlds, fosters creativity, and helps you find your own voice—for children and adults alike. The exhibition takes you on an exciting journey through the history of writing—from the traditional quill pen to the legendary Pelikan fountain pen with an ink cartridge, all the way to the modern keyboard.

Discover a wealth of fascinating exhibits from the collections of Pelikan and the Hannover Historical Museum, and experience the evolution of writing culture up close. At our interactive stations, visitors of all ages can get hands-on, write, experiment, and playfully immerse themselves in the world of letters.
