THE BEGINNING

HOW IT ALL BEGAN. THE STORY OF HEINZ BAUER MANUFAKT

In 1960 Heinz and Margot Bauer founded the traditional Swabian company Heinz Bauer Manufakt. Even then, they developed their own jacket collections and produced them in their own factory. The foundation of passion for artistic craftsmanship was laid.

Know How

FROM FABRIC TO LEATHER

At the beginning, the focus was on the production of jackets and coats made of Loden and Cashmere. With the entry of the second generation by Jochen Bauer, the know-how was expanded to leather garments.

Innovation

SHARED VISION & DEDICATION

Over time, the jackets became more and more innovative. In 1997 Jochen Bauer, owner in the second generation, developed the original convertible jacket, for which Heinz Bauer Manufakt still stands today. Born out of a personal passion for cabriolet driving, the first convertible jacket with integrated wind deflector was created. This development made the company at the foot of the Swabian Alb known all over the world.
