The history page of DAW SE states that its history originates in research and technical quality. It records that Ernst Murjahn and his son Eduard, of the Hamburg export and import trading company "Ernst Murjahn & Sohn", acquired mining rights for manganese in the Odenwald, and that during subsequent soil investigations Eduard Murjahn found hornblende, an important mineral from the amphibole group. Eduard Murjahn concluded the first extraction contracts for "Ernst Murjahn & Sohn" and found a process to process the amphibole. In 1889 he founded the "Deutschen Amphibolin-Werke von Eduard Murjahn" in Ernsthofen/Odenwald and began producing paint and plaster powder as well as anti-rust paints. Robert Murjahn, son of Eduard Murjahn, developed a plaster coating powder based on lime and chalk; the powder received an honorary diploma and a gold medal at an exhibition in Kiel in 1894. Robert Murjahn founded the firm "Deutsche Amphibolin-Werke von Robert Murjahn" in Ober-Ramstadt in 1895, and the plaster coating powder and "Murjahn's Anstrich-Pulver" were produced from then on.
