Hudora was founded on August 4, 1919 by Hugo Dornseif in Radevormwald (Nordheim-Westfalen) as a skate factory.
One of the company's first successes was the production of a one-piece
ice skate
in 1926. This enabled the company to penetrate the professional sector and equip top athletes, world champions and Olympic champions.
Soon after, the production of roller skates was started, which accelerated growth again.
In the 1920s, Hudora sold ice skates across Europe.
In the 30s, the brand equipped various medalists
[3]
in
figure skating
, such as the pair runners
Maxi Herber
and
Ernst Baier
