Goldschmidt (גאָלדשׁמידט)

Edward Goldschmidt (Owner and director for H.Lundbeck & Co A/S, Denmark) was recruited in 1924, beginning Lundbeck's ascent in the pharmaceutical industry. He brought several agencies for medicines into the company with him. Among the first preparations Lundbeck introduced to the Danish market were the suppository Anusol, for haemorrhoids, the painkiller Gelonida®, the laxative Agarol, and Inotyol, for the treatment of small cuts and minor burns. Goldschmidt also introduced over-the-counter products from Germany and France that promised quick relief from a wide variety of illnesses. Cosmetics and toiletries were considered by-products in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals at that time. So it was wholly natural for Lundbeck to supplement its range with toilet water such as Lohse Uralt Lavender and various creams, salves, baby powders, etc. Hans Lundbeck was already experiencing health problems. To secure the company's future, he married Miss Grete Sterregaard, the company's senior secretary, after a 10-year engagement. Edward Goldschmidt, the man who brought medicine to Lundbeck, was forced to withdraw from the company a short time later as a result of the occupying Germans' rampant anti-Semitism. Nevertheless, Lundbeck was able to celebrate its Silver Jubilee on 14 August 1940. A dinner was held for the 45 employees, but the German-imposed curfew made it necessary to stop the party at 11 p.m.
