品牌故事The history of the Beate Uhse company is also a great part of the story of an extraordinary woman and strong personality: Beate Uhse. She gave the company both its name and character.Beate Uhse 情趣巨子的崛起，背后是一位极为不平凡女性的传奇传记。Beate Uhse 大胆地以其本名命名这一品牌，为这一传奇品牌注入了一如其本人的，强烈个性。Even as a child, Beate Uhse wanted to be a high-flyer. The little girl, who was born on 25 October 1919 to an East Prussian squire and his doctor wife, dreamt of a life in the skies.Beate Uhse，出生于 1919 年 10 月 25 日，父亲是东普鲁士乡绅而母亲则是一位医生。然而自从孩提时起，Beate Uhse 却对天空有着谜一样的向往，总是梦想成为一名翱翔天际的飞行员。1936At the age of 17, Beate Uhse finally fulfilled her childhood dream. She was the only female in a group of 60 student pilots, and she gained her pilots licence in 1936.

The now refugee, mother and widow had to build a new existence for herself, and as courageously and purposefully as she realised her first career as an aviation pilot, Beate Uhse started her second career as an enlightener of the German nation.1945 年春，柏林被包围，Beate Uhse 携其 2 岁的儿子驾驶一架军用双引擎飞机逃离了柏林，最终定居于北弗里斯兰省。在实现了其第一个飞行梦想之后，Beate Uhse 作为一名寡妇和 2 岁儿子的母亲，决定重新开启新的生活，这一决定使其成为了当时整个德国的启蒙者。1946Beate Uhse moved to Flensburg in 1946 and started her first education campaign. After the war was over, women not only had to worry about food and accommodation, but also about the problems of unwanted pregnancies. Contraceptives were non-existent, and Beate Uhse saw this gap in the market and advised women about natural methods of contraception. In 1946, she put together a pamphlet describing the Knaus-Ogino rhythm method. This pamphlet was called Schrift X, and was the foundation stone of the Beate Uhse company.1946 年 Beate Uhse 搬到了弗伦斯堡，在这里她首次接触了民众教育运动。她了解到，战争结束后，女性不仅要担心食宿问题，还有意外怀孕的困扰。在那时尚未有避孕药物的存在，Beate Uhse 发现了这一市场空缺，并在初期建议女性采用自然的避孕方法。1946 年她发布了奥-克二氏避孕法（安全期避孕法）指导手册。这个小册子后来被称为“X”避孕宣传单，是后来 Beate Uhse 品牌成立的基石。1948Beate Uhse married the Flensburg businessman Ernst-Walter Rotermund in 1948. The mail-order business was also launched in that year. With the help of her second husband, the young businesswoman widened her product range, and even began selling condoms among other items.Beate Uhse 后来于 1948 年改嫁了弗伦斯堡的商人，Ernst-Walter Rotermund。同年，Beate Uhse 在其丈夫的帮助下，推出了邮购业务，逐渐扩展了产品范围，甚至开始销售避孕套等商品。1952The company brochure is comprised of 8 pages folded together. Books regarding sexual enlightenment, condoms and creams were being sold by the company. Naturally, these were only intended for sex within the marriage, and nothing was described in explicit detail.当时的公司简介手册共印刷有 8 页，这一小手册主要宣传其避孕套和霜油等辅助情趣产品，成为二战后德国的性启蒙指导手册。当然，在当时的社会情境下产品都只是服务于合法婚姻内的夫妻生活，并未包含任何其它领域的使用描述。19621962 saw Beate Uhse open the worlds very first sex shop, which was named The Institute for Marital Hygiene. The product range included lingerie, magazines, books, contraceptives, pharmaceutical preparations and stimulatory products.

Once the strict pornography regulation laws were relaxed in the mid 1970s, the sex industry in Germany boomed, and Beate Uhse shops sprung up like wild mushrooms!在公司刚刚开始成立的第一年，Beate Uhse 的初衷还只是帮助女性民众做好避孕和性教育工作。然而直到 20 世纪 70 年代中期，德国严格的色情监管法律开始松动，自此开始德国的性产业蓬勃发展，Beate Uhse更是成为产业前驱者，Beate Uhse 的实体情趣商店如雨后春笋般的涌现。1980The company carried the name Versandhaus Beate Uhse since February 1951, and so was registered in the Flensburg trade register under this name. Beate Uhse-Rotermund consciously retained the name of her first husband. Uhse is a much shorter name, and the name became the brand - and one does not make such a change except when necessary.自 1951 年 2 月以来，品牌一直沿用在弗伦斯堡注册的“Versandhaus Beate Uhse”名字，我们的女传奇，Beate Uhse-Rotermund，也一直有意识地在她自己的名字里保留她第一任丈夫的姓名。但后来为了进一步打造品牌，Beate Uhse 毫不犹豫地缩短修改其名称，正式更名为：Beate Uhse.1981The Beate Uhse Aktiengesellschaft was founded in 1981, and was streamlined into separate business sections.
