THE GOOD OLD VALUES

Day after day, our customers’ satisfaction defines the behaviour of all 350 employees working in the Marburg Wallpaper Factory. Every single roll of wallpaper that leaves our warehouse is full of inventiveness, uncompromising quality, attention to detail and a passion for what we do. 

This was the case in 1845, when Johann Bertram Schafer laid the foundations for the Marburg Wallpaper Factory with the establishment of his interior design shop, and it is still true today, over 170 years later. The Marburg Wallpaper Factory is a medium-sized family firm, led by the fifth generation of the founding family. 

All our production facilities are in Kirchhain, not far from Marburg, in Hesse. Our products are 100% “made in Germany”. We are proud of our heritage without resting on our laurels. 

The Marburg Wallpaper Factory is famous throughout the world for unique products that are unparalleled today – unique crushed-look designs, wall dressings with rhinestones and pearls, wallcoverings that glow. At the same time, our cooperation with outstanding personalities on the international design scene allows us to produce unusual wallcoverings that underline our company’s standards of creative leadership.
