From craft to passion: the tradition of leather in our family
The Friedrich23 brand stands for a family tradition spanning over a hundred years and a continuous development of high-quality leather craftsmanship into a modern, internationally recognized company.
Family tradition
Since 1923
The roots of the brand go back to the 1920s, when Josef Friedrich gained his first experience with leather in his uncle's small leather goods shop in Nuremberg-Eibach.
His passion for leather and craftsmanship formed the basis for a family business that has been successfully run for over 40 years.
Josef Friedrich
1949
In 1949, Josef Friedrich took over his uncle's business and ran it together with five home workers and three representatives. The company specialized in the production of small leather goods and quickly established itself in the Nuremberg region.
Ingo Friedrich
1983
The decisive step in the company's history took place in 1983, when Josef's son Ingo Friedrich founded the current company and established his own brand under the name Friedrich Lederwaren. With new products such as wallets, key rings, and writing and document folders, the company expanded and quickly established itself nationally and internationally.
Markus Friedrich
2005
With the entry of Markus Friedrich, the company was reorganized in 2005 and the family tradition was further expanded.
Markus Friedrich led the company into a new era and created Friedrich23, a brand world that combines the know-how and experience of three generations in contemporary designs and modern products.
Under his leadership, the family business has continued to develop. Today, Friedrich23 stands for high-quality jewelry boxes, watch boxes and accessories that are internationally valued and sought after.
1987
New premises
In 1987, Friedrich Lederwaren moved to larger premises in Schwanstetten, within the Nuremberg metropolitan region, to accommodate the expanding company's growing space requirements. This is also where the development of the first jewelry box collection began - an area that later became the company's trademark.
