The story of Weihrauch-Weihrauch began in 1899, when Hermann Weihrauch established his company in Zella St. Blasii, Germany, with a vision to produce high-quality hunting rifles. Overcoming the challenges of two world wars and post-war restrictions, the company adapted by diversifying into bicycle parts and door closers before returning to firearms and airguns. In 1948, the company relocated to Mellrichstadt, where it resumed production of airguns and small-bore rifles, quickly earning a reputation for precision and durability. Through the decades, Weihrauch remained a family business, with each generation contributing to its growth and innovation. The partnership with Beeman in the 1970s opened the vast US market, further cementing Weihrauch’s international presence. Today, under the leadership of Felix Weihrauch, the fifth generation, the company continues to blend tradition with innovation, maintaining its status as a benchmark for quality in the sporting arms industry. Major milestones include the introduction of iconic models like the HW 77 and HW 90, and the expansion into over 60 countries. Weihrauch’s enduring vision is to uphold its heritage while embracing new technologies and market demands, ensuring its legacy for future generations[1][2][4].
