In 1775 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe was invited to come to Thüringen by the Duke Carl-August von Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach. He spent most of his life making cultural contributions to the German people. This aristocratic family did much to promote musical composition and performance in Thüringen. It was here, that the foundations were laid which resulted in the flourishing of musical culture in the area and the art of piano-building in Eisenberg.

An architectural jewel in the centre of Eisenberg - the town hall. This renaissance building was probably constructed in 1274.

Already at the end of the 18th century, craftsmen's workshops began to manufacture components for the famous German pianos. These workshops became the high-skilled piano-building factories which made Eisenberg famous all over the world.

The vast forests of Thüringen were another important reason for the flourishing of the piano-building trade in Eisenberg. The WILH. STEINBERG pianos originated from the piano factories of the Geyer family, who established these in 1877. Since the foundation, our company has maintained its position amongst the major German piano manufacturers. The quality of our instruments and the attractive design are the basis for the progress and extraordinary success which WILH. STEINBERG has experienced in recent years.
