History

The Association for Goldsmiths' Art was founded in 1932, by the goldsmith and jeweler Ferdinand Richard Wilm in cooperation with recognized artists such as Emil Lettré, Albert Reimann, and Peter Behrens in the Altes Museum in Berlin.
After World War II, the Association was moved to Hamburg. The Association, which had been focused mainly on Germany, became an international institution on a public-service basis, and has been located in the German Goldsmiths' House, Hanau, since 1985.
To date, about 150 exhibitions and more than 100 national and international competitions have been accomplished.
