Nine Decades.
One Storefront.

In 1933, Maria and Karl Hillenbrand opened the doors at the Rindermarkt. Since 1970, the Kapfhammer family has run the house: Georg, his son Rudolf, and since 2023 also grandson Moritz in the third generation.

We curate with care. Four collections a year, exclusively from German, Austrian and British manufacturers.

“Good Tracht lasts a lifetime. We help you find the right piece.”

    What stays

    The shop window still uses the same mannequins as in 1933. Some things change with every season, others stay because they belong to the house.
