Schmiede Design

Schmiede Design Franz Hiller is a forge and retail workshop in Obermaiselstein, Germany, led by blacksmith Franz Hiller. Working from his own forge, Hiller creates handmade forged goods that combine traditional craftsmanship with practical use and medieval-inspired design. The range includes hand-forged pans, including pans for Käsespätzle, cowbells, cutlery and other kitchen utensils. Visitors can also find medieval weapons, knives, belt buckles and fire bowls. In addition to ready-made products, the workshop undertakes commissioned work.

Schmiede Design also brings blacksmithing to medieval markets, castle festivals, knight tournaments, fairs and other events. Hiller describes the workshop as a medieval forge for events, where he forges items for visitors of all ages. The business has a sales area at its Obermaiselstein location, and its listed visiting times are Friday afternoons and Saturdays.

From useful cookware to distinctive forged pieces, the brand offers handmade metalwork rooted in the craft of the blacksmith.
