Heimerle + Meule silver bars are the definitive German-made silver investment product – produced in Pforzheim, Germany's historic "Goldstadt" (City of Gold), by a company founded in 1845 and still operating from the same city after 175 years of continuous precious metals production.

History – Pforzheim, the Goldstadt, and 175 Years of Precious Metals
Pforzheim's nickname Goldstadt (City of Gold) dates to 1767, when Margrave Karl Friedrich of Baden founded the first jewellery manufacturing school there to provide employment for orphans and workers displaced by the Thirty Years War's aftermath. Within decades, Pforzheim had become Germany's jewellery capital – home to hundreds of workshops and refineries processing gold, silver and platinum into fine jewellery for European and global markets.
Heimerle + Meule was established in this tradition in 1845, initially as a precious metals rolling mill and eventually expanding into bar production, grain, wire and sheet for the jewellery industry. The company's development of investment-grade silver bars followed naturally from this expertise: the same precision rolling, stamping and hallmarking skills that produced jewellery components were applied to producing bars to the highest investment standards.
Today, Heimerle + Meule is one of Germany's best-known silver bar brands – with particular strength in the DACH market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) where their bars are stocked by most major dealers and accepted without question at resale.

The UnityBox – Heimerle + Meule's Unique Format
The 100×1g UnityBox is Heimerle + Meule's most innovative product: a presentation box containing 100 individual 1-gram silver bars, each fully hallmarked and individually packaged. The UnityBox gives investors the cost efficiency of buying 100g of silver at once while retaining complete divisibility – each 1g bar can be removed and given or sold individually.
This makes the UnityBox particularly popular as a gift (individual 1g bars within the box can be separated for multiple recipients) and as an emergency silver reserve where small-denomination physical silver may have practical liquidity advantages.
Is Heimerle + Meule LBMA-accredited?
Heimerle + Meule is a well-established German refiner widely accepted across European precious metals dealers, though their primary focus is the DACH retail market rather than institutional LBMA trading. Their bars are immediately bought back by CelticGold and all major German dealers: Sell precious metals.
What is the difference between Heimerle + Meule and Heraeus bars?
Both are respected German refiners. Heraeus is Germany's largest and is LBMA Good Delivery listed, giving it maximum global liquidity including in institutional markets. Heimerle + Meule has stronger brand recognition in the DACH retail market and offers unique formats like the UnityBox. Both are excellent choices for private investment.
