The Professor's Cube was invented by Udo Krell in 1981. Out of the many designs that were proposed, Udo Krell's design was the first 5×5×5 design that was manufactured and sold. [[Uwe Mèffert]] manufactured the cube and sold it in [[Hong Kong]] in 1983.

[[Ideal Toy Company|Ideal Toys]], who first popularized the original 3x3x3 Rubik's cube, marketed the puzzle in [[Germany]] as the "Rubik's Wahn" (German: ''Rubik's Craze''). When the cube was marketed in [[Japan]], it was marketed under the name "Professor's Cube". Mèffert reissued the cube under the name "Professor's Cube" in the 1990s.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/5x5x5_Cube|title=5x5x5 Wiki|website=Speedsolving.com}}</ref>

The early versions of the 5×5×5 cube sold at [[Barnes & Noble]] were marketed under the name "Professor's Cube" but currently, Barnes and Noble sells cubes that are simply called "5×5 Cube." Mefferts.com used to sell a limited edition version of the 5×5×5 cube called the Professor's Cube. This version had colored tiles rather than stickers.<ref>[http://www.mefferts.com/products/details.php?lang=en&category=13&id=238 Meffert's Professor's Cube]</ref> Verdes Innovations sells a version called the V-Cube 5.<ref>[http://www.v-cubes.com/prod_info/v-cube5.php Verdes' Innovations V-Cube 5 page] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100327224620/http://www.v-cubes.com/prod_info/v-cube5.php |date=2010-03-27 }}</ref>
