Onto new paths with the knowledge of our predecessors!
To have one’s finger on the pulse of times but tightly connected to tradition is the message that our family business stands for since over a century producing fabrics of the highest quality with a top level of fashion avant-garde made in Upper Franconia. 1884 founded by Heinrich Hohenberger and expanded during the years due to an increased demand, the headquarters are located since 1890 in Schuetzenstreet 3 in Hof.
- Until the end of the 40’s the production was exclusively done on hand looms by home workers deep in the Franconia forests. Here workers are delivering their products/fabrics at the Weberei Hohenberger (around 1900)
At the end of the 40’s the transition from classic hand looms to mechanized production takes place. In 1979 the change of the production and sales department into the newly founded Weberei Hohenberger GmbH finally takes place.
Since 1993 Sabine Weidner-Dietel and Thomas Hohenberger are now the fourth generation in management. With a little pride of what was accomplished we face the 21.Century in the knowledge of being experienced and well equipped.
