In 1851 Julius Gustav FEURICH founded the Pianofortefabrik FEURICH in Leipzig as an offshoot of an old established instrument maker's family. He acquired the trade registration for just one Gold Mark. Julius FEURICH was particularly forward looking in his conceptions of piano design. For instance, his first uprights were very resonant for there size. Already by 1851 they were supplied with underdamper action, yet other German makers only took up this modern innovation from around 50 years later. FEURICH’S burgeoning enterprise grew rapidly and from around the turn of the twentieth century the company would boast a huge factory with 360 workers producing 1200 uprights and 600 grands annually.

They even had a concert hall where famous pianists of the day performed on their instruments. Sadly, during the Second World War the manufacturing plant was completely destroyed. Nevertheless, gradually in the 1950’s the firm relaunched, endeavoring to rebuild its former world-class reputation. However, the partitioning of Germany made the situation increasingly difficult. Eventually in December 1959, the company was expropriated by the communist regime and in such circumstances business began to decline. Therefore, Julius Hermann of the fourth generation decided to depart for West Germany. Here he set up a new home for FEURICH instruments at a production complex in Langlau, Middle-Franconia, Bavaria. From then on, the enterprise accomplished as firm a business foundation as it had in pre-war years.

Since 1993, the company achieved full autonomy building a new factory in Gunzenhausen, Middle-Franconia. From this center our famous FEURICH instruments are exported all over the world.

Playing the piano offers a new prospect for relaxation in our often hectic lives; it serves to balance creative activity with leisure. Many studies have commented not only upon the therapeutic benefits of playing the piano, but also the positive effect that this has on the intellectual and physical development of our children. Learning the instrument promotes creativity, concentration and coordination to a particularly high degree.
