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
On 3 June the London Bullion Market Association admits the company to its Good Delivery List, the register of recognised gold refiners. It has remained on the list since that day.
Minted bar
Straight edges, a crisp strike.
Lettering, numbers and symbols stand out sharply on the smooth surface. That is how you recognise a minted bar at first glance.
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.

The 0.5g gold bar from Heimerle und Meule brings genuine fine gold into one of the most convenient formats available. Small, cleanly minted, recognized worldwide – and above all: a physical gold investment whose value is primarily based on the half gram of fine gold it contains and moves in line with the gold price. Anyone looking to get started with gold in small, affordable steps will find an ideal building block here for long-term wealth accumulation.
Crisis protection in pocket format
It is precisely the small denomination that makes this bar so popular for crisis protection. Small units of gold and silver can be used flexibly, have long been regarded as a proven means of exchange, and provide security in a wide variety of emergency situations – whether at home or abroad. A bar of this size fits into any wallet and can be discreetly taken along on trips without attracting attention. Small amounts of gold also add up over the years to a considerable fortune, which you can divide up entirely according to your needs.
As an inflation hedge, physical gold has proven itself over millennia. For over 6,000 years, this precious metal has served as a stable store of value, it has never been worth zero, and it reliably protects against a loss of purchasing power. While fiat money can be created at will by central banks, the supply of gold is naturally limited – and this is precisely what supports its value preservation. It is no coincidence that central banks themselves hoard enormous gold reserves: a clear sign of how little trust they place in their own paper money.
Heimerle + Meule – tradition since 1845
Heimerle + Meule, based in the gold city of Pforzheim, is Germany's oldest active precious metals refinery and is LBMA-certified as a conflict-free gold processor. This makes the bar recognized worldwide and readily tradable at any time. The obverse of this minted bar features the lettering HEIMERLE + MEULE, below it "FINE GOLD", the fineness "999.9", the weight designation "0.5g", as well as the characteristic bar logo with the little smelter figure above the year 1845 and the "melter assayer" hallmark. The shiny surface, the rectangular shape and the rounded corners showcase the precision of German craftsmanship.
