THE HISTORY OF THE "ALTE DRUCKEREI"

Since October 2022, we have found a new home! At the "Alte Druckerei", an old printing house at Clara-Zetlin-Straße 8, we opened our doors to customers, friends, and supporters in May 2023 after completing renovations and setting up our production. The history of our building is quite remarkable. Built around 1800, it was the first house and a small villa on Clara-Zetkin-Straße. Over time, additional sections were added, expanding it to over 1,300 square meters of usable space. In 1805, the Oppenrieder family entered the printing business. During wartime, the building was confiscated and mismanaged by the state, forcing the Oppenrieders to repurchase their own property and outdated machines, requiring significant investment once again. During our renovation, we discovered various artifacts that you can now view in our store.

To give you a taste of what we found, we have digitized some of the early treasures from that era. It gives us chills to see how much history is being continued in our footsteps.
