KOCH
The firm of Koch was established in 1879 by Robert Koch, at 6 Biebergasse in Frankurt. He soon became one of Germany's leading jewellers. At some point in the 1880s, his boutique was relocated to larger premises at 56 Haus Zeil, an indication of its rapid growth. The final location,at the corner of Kaiserstrasse and Mainzerstrasse, was in a building designed by the architect Paul Wallot who also built the German Reichstag. Koch's reputation spread quickly and he gained in 1883 the title of ‘Jeweler of the court’ and became purveyor for almost all of the princely houses in Germany, and ultimately to the Kaiser, as well as to some foreign houses like the Czar of Russia or the King of Italy.

To accomodate the seasonal wanderings of his clientele, he also opened a boutique in Baden-Baden. Prior to its closing in November 1987, the firm was run by Eugen Brüning Their jewels, mainly executed in Hanau by the workshop Kreuter, had great success. Their celebrity extended everywhere in Europe and their production were very fashionable at the beginning of the 20th Century. Until 1938 the firm continued to be prosperous. In that year, the Koch family lost control when the firm was "aryanized", i.e. taken over by Robert Bosch. The company definitely closed doors in 1987. Jewels from the great time of the Koch House are very much thought after in today's antique jewellery market.
