Storch Kamine

Storch Kamine GmbH was founded in November 2003 as a premium brand and subsidiary of one of the largest manufacturers of fireplace stoves in Europe. The first fire was lit on 26 February 2004 at Ofen Götz in Amberg (Upper Palatinate) in a black “Vesuv” fireplace stove with serial number 0001 and striking orange-yellow tiles. The sale of the first Storch fireplace stove (Vesuv model) the same day based on its design and combustion technology aroused great enthusiasm. As a proud memento of that day, a fire has been kept burning in the Vesuv 0001 fireplace stove in the exhibition area at Amberg to this day. Ferdinand Götz was not only Storch’s first business partner, but also its friend and advisor. In 2005, utilizing his experience in the field of fireplace stoves and soapstone, he helped us make “the big jump” and contributed to Storch’s new identity with HLS exterior facing (Himalayan accumulation stone, limonite), which had not been used in fireplace stoves before.
