Annerose and Gerhard Selbiger and the Treytnars's
They celebrate this day with a big party in the workshop.
In the following years Gerhard and Annerose Selbiger gave the workshop a new own profile. Even if there were dificulties to get precious gemstones and gold and silver the workshop developed to a well known place in Berlin. They only repaired and build new jeweelery in this years. There was no trading of industrial jewellery.
The old workshop in Weinbergsweg 26
Norbert Selbiger started to work in 1989 in his fathers workshop. He made his master craftsmen diploma in 1991. After the German unification the workshop had to find its position on the Berlin market again. The shop was rebuild and costumers could find industrial jewellery beside handicraft work. The goldsmithy Selbiger gave more services than before and survived the wild time after German unification.
Shop and atelier after reconstruction
Late in the 90s the house Weinbergsweg 26 went down more and more. It was unsure who was the owner and how long we will have any contract to rent the shop. The area around Rosenthaler Platz get poorer and it was a question of time when Selbigers had to leave this historical place. They decided to establish a new or to by another workshop. January 1st, 2000 Norbert Selbiger bought the old workshop of Fritz Schwabe at the Weitlingstraße 30 in Berlin-Lichtenberg. At the same time he get also the leader of the old workshop. Norbert was leading those two shops as one company.

They closed the doors with different feelings. But they closed the workshop like it started. They celebrate a big party.
Last party in Berlin-Mitte
All power were put in the new workshop in Berlin-Lichtenberg. Best tools of those two workshops were collected to one place. The showcases were collected to one place also. It was possible to give full service te every costumer.
Participations on fairs and fashionshows in 2004 leads to the creation of an own exhibition stand. It shows the idea of personality and creativity of the "Goldschmiede Selbiger".
The combination of old tradition of handicraft goldsmith work an new modern design makes this team of the "Goldschmiede Selbiger" precious. Here you will find only well educated goldsmiths who want to make your wishes come true. They want to prepare small pieces of art possible to wear every day. Those goldsmiths dont like to shoe their jewellery in showcases. They want to see it on your fingers, necks or clothes.
