A current look at our Elbe Sandstone workshop

Two carved stone blocks featuring spiral staircase patterns rest on wooden pallets. The blocks appear to be architectural elements, possibly intended for a building or a landscaping project. Additional stone blocks can be seen nearby.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve created some particularly beautiful and, in some cases, very intricate solid stone pieces. Each one was commissioned by a customer—with its own unique, specific requirements. That’s exactly what we love: attention to detail. Ideas that take shape. Unique color gradients that can’t be planned. Only nature itself can do that. Our beautiful Elbe sandstone 🧡

Season's greetings at the end of the year

Snow-covered rocks and pine trees overlook a valley at sunrise, with soft sunlight illuminating the landscape and distant mountains under a pastel-colored sky.

Dear business partners, dear customers, Every year, the Christmas season invites us to pause, look back, and recharge our batteries—it is a time for reflection, for closeness, and for the little moments that often mean the most. Before we take our leave for the holidays, we would like to express our heartfelt thanks to you. Your cooperation, your trust, and […]

A company moves

A modern, single-storey building with a flat roof and large windows. There is a sign with a yellow logo at the entrance. In the surrounding area is a small garden with shrubs and a paved walkway made of Saxon sandstone works. The sky is overcast, suggesting a cloudy day.

A modern administration building at the traditional production site Since 02.11.2015 we have moved into our new administration building in Alt-Rottwerndorf 4 in Pirna. We have given up the old location in the Bahnhofstrasse near the city center, which was also used as a production site until 2014. For the entire company policy - a huge change, of course positive.
