Company portrait and history
Bathroom furniture by burgbad:
About an unusual passion for the everyday.
burgbad's roots lie in Germany's Sauerland region. The company history began in 1946 amongst destroyed buildings – with "hand-crafted" wooden building block sets actually designed to be toys for children. However, they proved popular with young and old as they came to symbolise the rebuilding of the country and the dream of a better future.
Dieter Ruddies, the company's founder, had an instinct for what things people might find useful in everyday life, from sewing boxes to coffee grinders or pasting tables. He also realised much earlier than many others how important bathroom furniture would one day become.
At home in bathrooms since 1966.
Under the motto "The bathroom of the future will be furnished", Dieter Ruddies dared to turn to making bathroom furniture at a time when beautiful and functional bathroom furniture was on very few people's minds.
This was the starting point for an exceptional success story. Right from the start, it was about considering the everyday as well as perfect functionality; it was about a passion for outstanding quality and has also been about comprehensive sustainability for many years.
burgbad is the first zero carbon bathroom furniture manufacturer, for example. We have also switched our production facilities in Schmallenberg, Greding and Lauterbach fully to "Furniture made in Germany" since 2020, as we believe that reliable and transparent supply chains are another important aspect of sustainability.

The move into the bathroom
Under the brand name Burg, the company is venturing into the bathroom sector. And this at a time when hardly anyone was thinking about bathroom furniture. Dieter Ruddies is convinced: “The bathroom of the future will be furnished.”
A new beginning
In 1946, Dieter Ruddies set up a small woodworking workshop in Bad Fredeburg, producing household items and small wooden furniture. It was a beginning marked by optimism and craftsmanship.
