"The Personal Tomb "

As unique as each person is, so special should be his tombstone. We have made this our goal.

Therefore, we will discuss your wishes and ideas with you. We will guide you through the design possibilities in a professionally sound and skilled manner. In exchange with you we develop an individual design idea, which finds its realization in the personal gravestone. The finished design can range from simple symbols and shapes to abstract and complex signs and engravings.

We deal in detail with gravestones. We are also happy to take care of set stones and their embedding in nature in the form of garden and square designs.

Below you will find selected works from our workshop. In the creation of our works, we are guided by our creativity and respond to the wishes of our customers.

Because our working method focuses on the uniqueness of each work, we have deliberately limited ourselves to a small selection of photos.

Sculptural works

The following selection of works shows sculptural works that we have produced in addition to our core business. The occasions for which they were created vary. Among the selection are gifts for special occasions, free works and works for exhibitions.

Stone care

The material stone is a natural product, which does not remain unchanged. Over time, a natural patina can form on the stone and traces of weathering can appear. Whether aging on the stone is perceived as aesthetic or not, is in the eye of the beholder.

We offer care, treatment and cleaning of any natural stone. We pay attention to the use of ecologically compatible products.

Font design

The font design contributes significantly to the creative performance of a gravestone. Fonts can not only decorate grave signs, but can also be used on other objects. We offer facade lettering, for example, to give new meaning to house numbers or family names. We also create name plaques, which are appreciated as an unusual gift on special occasions such as birthdays or weddings.

We offer engraving and relief lettering. We design and draw our fonts personally and by hand.

Transfer and copying techniques.

Using transfer and copying techniques, objects and shapes can be enlarged, reduced or multiplied. With the dotting device we can transfer figures true to form 1:1 in stone. With the circular puncturing method it is possible to enlarge or reduce objects in stone by any factor. These two techniques were used in ancient times and are still used in the same way today. Silicone molding makes it possible to multiply figures by any factor in plaster, metal and concrete.

We offer dotting technique and circle dotting method in stone as well as silicone based impression technique.
