A very warm Welcome to my Homepage!

Let's start with some information about my person: On December 31, 2005, I turned 20,000 days old. I dedicated almost half of this time to the manufacturing of pipes.

Right after graduating from the Academy of Arts (Hochschule für angewandte Kunst), I started manufacturing pipes: In Stuttgart, Germany, I founded a workshop together with another industrial designer, a marionette manufacturer, and a manufacturer of mechanical street organs.
During the course of time, more people joined our workshop; others left or decided to go their own way.

I stayed.

And this has proven to be my way.
After running my workshop in Stuttgart for more than 25 years, things have changed in my life, too. In December 2005, I opened a workshop in Italy, more precisely: in the village of Tramin on the South Tyrolean Wine Route. Two years later I moved to Egna/Neumarkt.

Starting production in 2006, this is where I'll offer my pipe manufacturing seminars which I had offered in Stuttgart up to now.
