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.
2010
Bars for investors
Heimerle + Meule launches its investment products division. Today, bars, boxes and cards for investors are part of its range.
2014
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.
Bar in a card
Gold you can give as a gift.
A small bar of fine gold, firmly set into a card the size of a credit card.
A gift that is not used up: for a birth, a wedding or simply as a thank-you.
On the bar
What the marks say.

- HEIMERLE + MEULE

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.

Gold as an inflation hedge – value preservation in small steps
Gold is humanity's oldest currency and has outlasted every paper currency. It possesses intrinsic value, has never had a price of zero, and has protected against loss of purchasing power for over 6,000 years. As an inflation hedge, the precious metal proves itself especially when central banks expand the money supply and confidence in fiat money wanes – it is no coincidence that these very central banks count among the world's largest gold holders.
The small gram format in particular makes getting started easy: you build your wealth step by step, remaining flexible and tradable at any time. Physical gold has high liquidity and can be quickly converted back into cash worldwide. A gold bar from Heimerle + Meule is also exempt from VAT; profits from its sale are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year.
Small amounts of gold add up over the years to a considerable fortune – and can be passed down from generation to generation. A bar in Proof quality combines first-class minting with genuine investment value.
Whether as an entry point into physical gold investment or as a building block of a broadly diversified wealth strategy: with the 1g gold bar "Happy Birthday", you hold minted fine gold in your hand that shines permanently and preserves its value.
