Heimerle + Meule · Pforzheim
Gold from the Golden City.
It began with the dust of the workshops.
Jewellery has been made in Pforzheim since the 18th century. Wherever there is filing, sawing and polishing, precious metal falls to the floor as fine dust and ends up in the sweepings.
The entrepreneur Julius Dittler founds a sweepings works, a “Kehretsanstalt”, to recover precious metal from production waste.
1845
This is the year the story of Heimerle + Meule begins. To this day, the date appears in the mark of the house.
Inside the works
From scrap to bar.
The scrap
Jewellery, coins, cutlery, dental gold and industrial residues: from these, the house recovers precious metal today.
The pour
Gold melts at 1,064 degrees Celsius, silver at 962 degrees. The melter pours the molten metal from the crucible into the mould.
The bar
At the end comes the finished bar, bearing its weight and fineness. According to the company, the fine metals used are produced in its own refinery.
A house that carries on.
1945
In ruins
On 23 February an air raid destroys Pforzheim’s town centre. The company’s building is also lost in the war. Afterwards, it makes a fresh start in the premises of a jewellery and watch factory.
1977
The Brötzinger Tal
The company moves out of the town centre to the Brötzinger Tal, a valley that had been filled in after the war, partly with the rubble of the old town. Its headquarters have been there ever since.

Good Delivery

Kettner Edelmetalle Edition
Bars by Heimerle + Meule.
The bars in this edition bear the mark of Heimerle + Meule, and our name is on the packaging.
On the bar
What the marks say.
- 999.9
- The fineness in parts per thousand: out of 1,000 parts, 999.9 are pure gold.
- 1845
- The caster. Since 1933 he has been the emblem of the house. In the round stamp, he stands above the year 1845.
- melter assayer
- The one who melts the metal and the one who tests it. Next to these words stands the mark of the house.
- HEIMERLE + MEULE
- The company has borne this name since the second half of the 19th century.
From dust came a name.
Made to last.
The idea of the sweepings works lives on, too: recovering and refining precious metal has been the heart of the house since its founding.

50 x 1/100 oz Gold Bars Heimerle und Meule: Fifty Escape Assets in Credit Card Format
- Investment goal: With gold bars in this denomination, you protect your wealth exceptionally effectively against the creeping devaluation of money.
- Preservation of value: Minted fine gold bars are a perfect store of value that safeguards the true substance of your wealth and carries it forward through generations.
- Hedging: Especially during periods of inflation, recession, and rampant government debt, 50 bars of pure gold give you a hard, tangible foundation.
- White metal complement: With silver bars, you shield your purchasing power just as effectively against inflation – the little brother silver alongside the big brother gold.
- Emergency reserve: Fifty individually usable units that serve as a medium of exchange when paper currencies begin to falter.
Anyone preparing for the next crisis doesn't need a single heavy piece, but many small ones. That's exactly what this bundle delivers: it contains 50x 1/100 oz gold bars Heimerle und Meule (Kettner Edelmetalle) – fifty minted miniature bars of 999.9 fine gold, each with a fine weight of around 0.31 grams. Together, this adds up to 15.5 grams of fine gold with a gross weight of 15.52 grams, spread across fifty divisible portions. These small denominations are the real advantage: you never have to liquidate your entire holding when you only need a fraction.
Crisis protection first: Why fifty tiny bars can do more than one large one
A kilo bar in the safe is wealth. A 1/100 oz bar in your jacket pocket is capability to act. In an emergency – whether at home due to disrupted payment systems or abroad without a working card – it's not mass that counts, but divisibility. That's precisely why small denominations in gold and silver are among the most popular products for provisioning. Each card is roughly credit-card sized, easily fits in a wallet for travel without drawing attention, and remains discreet, robust, and instantly recognizable.
Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has been accepted worldwide for over 6,000 years. It has never had a value of zero, carries no issuer default risk, and requires neither electricity nor a network nor the approval of any authority. This security is the core of any serious protection against various crises – whether currency reform, banking turmoil, or political unrest.

Heimerle + Meule: Pforzheim tradition since 1845
The mint mark on each bar shows the well-known founder's figure with the year 1845, alongside the "melter assayer" hallmark, the weight designation "1/100 oz", the fineness 999.9, and the inscription HEIMERLE+MEULE. The company from the city of gold, Pforzheim, has had its gold bars listed on the LBMA's Good Delivery List since June 3, 2014 – proof of the analytical rigor and manufacturing discipline of the entire operation. For you, this means one thing above all: if you wish to sell these bars again later, dealers will recognize a design that buyers have known for decades. Short verification chains, high liquidity.
Condition and state
As explained for the individual items, the bars are delivered Brilliant Uncirculated and in their original card. Minor production-related traces may occasionally occur on such tiny units; they do not diminish the fineness or material value. Please keep the cards sealed where possible – intact packaging makes any future valuation easier.
Inflation hedge and wealth preservation as a second pillar
While fiat money can be printed by central banks and multiplied in unlimited quantities, the supply of gold is naturally scarce. It's no coincidence that central banks themselves are the world's largest holders of gold – they evidently distrust their own product. Physical precious metal in your own hands is the logical response: an intrinsic value that cushions the loss of purchasing power and can be converted into cash at any time.
Gold has shone for millennia – and it won't lose its shine even when paper promises have long since faded.
For tax purposes, investment gold is exempt from VAT in Germany. Under current law, profits from the sale of physical gold bars are generally tax-free, provided the minimum holding period of one year is observed. Therefore, keep your purchase receipts carefully.
Comparison: Tiny bars, gram bars, or gold coins?
Compared to a single 10-gram bar, fifty tiny units offer significantly more flexibility, but cost a higher premium per gram – manufacturing costs are incurred per piece, not per gram. Compared to classic CombiBars, there's no need to break off pieces along perforations here: each bar is fully separated and minted all around. And compared to gold coins or small silver coins, the format scores through its flatness and weight: fifty cards weigh almost nothing and can be stored inconspicuously. Many who provision for emergencies combine both anyway – larger units as a base, plus this bundle as a flexible reserve for emergencies.
