CODIE

CODie was founded on 1st of March 1990, just four months after the Berlin Wall fell, an event which allowed the people of East Germany to pursue their own dreams. It was a time of chaos and great uncertainty, no one knew what Russia would do, money was devalued and right up to the last minute France and Britain campaigned against a possible unified Germany. Not knowing the outcome, Andreas and his wife still decided to take a chance—a bold move, considering their situation: little money, a four-year-old son and a second one on the way. However, at this time many Germans heard the call of Fortuna, so Andreas and his wife opened up a business in their attic selling computer hardware, network cables and planned UNIX and NOVELL networks. This was to grow soon.
