Manifest — § seit 1924
Steel remembers the hand that shaped it.
No castings. No catalogue. Every piece is drawn, heated, hammered and finished by the same hands that will one day deliver it to you.

03 — Ablauf
From conversation
to fire
01
Gespräch — the conversation
We meet at the forge or your site. We listen, measure, and understand what the piece must do — and what it must outlast.
02
Entwurf — the drawing
Hand drawings and full-scale templates. Nothing is forged until the line is right and you have signed it off.
03
Schmieden — the forging
Steel to 1200°C. Hammered, drawn and joined by hand — no castings, no shortcuts, no two pieces the same.
04
Finish — the surface
Wire-brushed, blackened, waxed or patinated — the surface that will age exactly the way you want it to.
05
Montage — the installation
We deliver and set the piece ourselves. It leaves our hands only when it is right — and only into yours.

The fire has not gone out since 1924.
Josef Reinhart lit the forge in 1924, in a stone workshop below the Erzberg. A hundred years later his grandson Anton still works the same anvil — by hand, by commission, and never faster than the steel allows.
We keep the books short on purpose. A handful of pieces a year, each one given the months it deserves. That is the only way we know how to make something that outlives the maker.

“Reinhart's railing is the first thing every visitor touches and the last thing they forget. We now specify them by name.”
“They forged a staircase that will outlive the house. Watching it made, by hand, was worth every month of the wait.”
“The baroque screen came back better than the archive photographs. Honest, patient, masterful work.”

Let's forge something that outlives us both.
We take a limited number of commissions each year. Tell us what you have in mind — a railing, a gate, a staircase, or something no one has made before.
