1683, Ludwig Wilhelm von Baden, one of the most powerful
aristocrats in Europe at the time, creates a hammer and nail
forge in the Black Forest near the hamlet of Gaggenau.
Every hammer blow from that original foundry guides our
metalwork today. Our heritage enables the continual creation
of the exceptional, in every single appliance we craft and
experience we provide.
