pelikan passion
this year, our passion is reaching full power – with a small
commemoration of our fine pieces of gold. The exceptional Pelikan
pens are in focus because they are the paragon of one of the most
beautiful things in the world: the love of writing. Writing by hand is
absolutely in fashion. Young people in particular are rediscovering
their fascination of all things handwritten; a fascination which
exists in parallel with the digitalized world – that is, hand in hand.
Of course, pure handwriting passion was never out of fashion.

Stresemann frequently wore this suit, made of a refined,
pinstriped fabric, which in the end became legendary.
At the same time, Pelikan and its pinstriped fountain pens
were beginning to take the world by storm and people came to refer to the latter as “Stresemann” too,
consequently gaining a personality of their own. Back then, we offered our Souverän classics mostly in
a black/green-striped design.
Today, both the suit as well as these fountain pens bear Stresemann’s name. To pay proper tribute
to this legend, Pelikan has now officially christened the latest addition to its collection, the Souverän
with stylish anthracite pinstripes, the “Stresemann”.
