Wallpaper Manufacturers

Marburger Tapetenfabrik is one of the oldest wallpaper manufacturers in Europe and sells its products under the “Marburg Wallcoverings” brand name. The Marburger Tapetenfabrik developed the first free-repeat pattern wallpapers, fabric and profile vinyl wallpapers as well as non-woven wallpaper. The Marburger Tapetenfabrik is very much a family-run business and is in its fifth generation of ownership. In 1845 Johann Bertram Schaefer started a business in Marburg which specialised in interior decor and began making wallpaper in 1879. The company was based in Marburg up until the beginning of the Second World War. Company headquarters have been located in Kirchhain since the 1950s. All wallpapers and wallcoverings are solely produced here.
