The story of Weinheimer Leder

Weinheimer Leder has a rich history and strong reputation within the leather industry. The tannery's story dates back to 1849, when Heinrich Christian Heintze and Carl Johann Freudenberg founded the leather tannery Heintze & Freudenberg. They began producing premium calf leather and patent leather. As one of the first in Europe, Freudenberg developed chrome tanning as a production method, which eventually led to them becoming the largest leather tannery in Europe. Due to rapid growth and rising international exports, a branch in the United Kingdom was later established.

In addition to producing top-quality leather, the tannery also stood out for its commitment to employee well-being. As early as 1874—more than a decade before Germany introduced national health insurance—the company implemented a health insurance program, prioritizing the welfare of its workers.

The acquisition by Weinheimer Leder in 2003 marked the end of the Freudenberg Group. However, the expertise, traditional tanning methods, and values of the Freudenberg Group have been preserved and further refined to this day. Weinheimer Leder has received several quality distinctions for both their chrome tanning and natural tanning procedures, including ISO 9001 and OEKO-TEX Leather Standard certifications.

Leatherbox is incredibly proud to collaborate with Weinheimer Leder. In our webshop, you'll find the finest calf leather collections—worthy of display in the world’s most exclusive fashion houses.
