History

Driessen a small town located on the shores of beautiful Lake Ammersee in the heart of Bavaria\'s romantic countryside has a rich historical and artistic heritage, which dates back to 9th century. During medieval times two important trade routes joined ways here, thus spurring the economic and cultural development of the region. The tradition has been kept alive by the family of Wilhelm Schweizer since 1796 and even today they base some of their designs on originals which often are hundreds of years old.
