As early as 1770 Johann Wilhelm von Eicken began trading with colonial countries and produced his pipe and snuff tobacco in Mülheim. In 1866 Carl Heinrich von Eicken took over the management of the company. He discontinued trading with the colonial countries and presses ahead with the production of tobacco products. Another tobacco factory in Hamburg was purchased in 1886. The Hamburg factory was not spared in WWII, it was partly destroyed during air raids in 1943. The plant in Mülheim was completely destroyed during air raids by the US Air Force. Shortly before the end of the war the closure of the factory in Hamburg was ordered by the Nazis in 1944. The building was required for the production of X-ray machines... Old and sick Hans von Eicken handed over the company to his son Wilhelm just a few months before the war ended.
Dès 1770, Johann Wilhelm von Eicken a commencé à commercer avec les colonies et a fabriqué son tabac à pipe et à priser à Mülheim. En 1866, Carl Heinrich von Eicken prit la direction de l'entreprise. Il arrêta le commerce avec les colonies et poursuivit la production de  tabacs. En 1886, il acheta une autre usine de tabac à Hambourg. L'usine de Hambourg ne sera pas épargnée par la Seconde Guerre mondiale, elle sera partiellement détruite lors de raids aériens en 1943. L'usine de Mülheim sera complètement détruite lors des raids aériens de l'US Air Force. Peu avant la fin de la guerre, en 1944, la fermeture de l'usine de Hambourg fut ordonnée par les nazis. Le bâtiment était nécessaire pour la production d'appareils à rayons X... Hans von Eicken, âgé et malade, transmit l'entreprise à son fils Wilhelm quelques mois seulement avant la fin de la guerre.

Official permission to resume manufacturing tobacco was granted in 1949. US Virginia tobacco, essential for production, was available in late autumn of the same year because of the Marshall Plan (93,000 tons of tobacco were shipped free of charge to Germany!). In 1963 Von Eicken was granted the exclusive import and distribution rights for [[Mac Baren]] tobacco in Germany and distributed this successfully until 2008. In 1983 the decision was made to relocate the factory to Lübeck. Marc von Eicken was the 8th generation to join the company in 1997. Since then he is running Von Eicken together with his father Johann Wilhelm.
