Heimerle + Meule
A house from Pforzheim
Recovering and refining precious metal has been at the heart of the house since its founding. Today it recovers gold and silver from jewellery, coins, dental gold alloys, silverware and silver-plated cutlery, as well as from industrial residues.
Chronicle
The chronicle of the house
- 1845
Julius Dittler founds a sweepings works, a “Kehretsanstalt”, in Pforzheim to recover precious metal from production waste on behalf of his customers.
- 1945
In the war the company building is destroyed, according to the house on 23 February. The house finds new premises at the jewellery and watch factory Knoll + Pregitzer.
- 1977
The house leaves the town centre and moves into premises in the Brötzinger Tal industrial area.
- 2010
The house introduces its investment products division.
- 2014
On 3 June the LBMA, the association of the London precious metals market, admits Heimerle + Meule to its Good Delivery List for gold, the register of accredited refiners.
LBMA
What the London list means
The LBMA’s Good Delivery List names the refiners whose bars may be delivered into the London market.
It refers to large bars: for gold between 350 and 430 fine ounces, about 10.9 to 13.4 kilograms. Smaller bars do not count in London wholesale trading, so a bar of 0.5 g is not a Good Delivery bar.

10 x 0.5g Gold Bars Heimerle und Meule (Kettner Edelmetalle) – ten small lifelines for the emergency case
- Investment goal: With these gold bars you protect your wealth exceptionally effectively against the creeping devaluation of money.
- Value preservation: Minted gold bars act as a perfect store of value, preserving the real purchasing power of your savings and carrying it forward through the years.
- Hedging: Especially in times of inflation, recession and ballooning national debt, gold gives you a foundation that no one can multiply at the push of a button.
- Two-part investment goal: In addition, your wealth can be highly effectively shielded against loss of purchasing power with silver bars – the little brother ideally complements the big one.
- Emergency reserve: Ten individual units instead of one block – divisible, inconspicuous, usable at any time.
This bundle contains 10 x 0.5g gold bars Heimerle und Meule (Kettner Edelmetalle) – together 5 grams of fine gold, distributed across ten separate, minted units. Herein lies exactly the appeal. Anyone who owns a single large bar must liquidate everything at once if the need arises. Anyone who has ten half-gram bars at home gives up exactly as much as they currently need. This is not a mere detail, but the core of genuine provisioning.
Why small denominations make the difference in crisis protection
For crisis protection, a simple rule applies: it's not the quantity alone that counts, but the handleability. Small denominations in gold and silver are therefore among the most popular products for very different emergency situations – at home during a power outage, bank closures or currency turbulence, as well as abroad. Half a gram of fine gold is a tangible medium of exchange, recognized worldwide, valuable everywhere, and cannot be switched off by any government.
The credit-card-sized cards can easily be carried in your wallet while travelling, without attracting attention. They sit between your bank card and ID, weigh practically nothing, and yet carry real counter-value. Anyone who has ever experienced how quickly digital payment methods can fail knows how reassuring such a quiet reserve can be. Security here is not created by a promise on paper, but by metal in hand.
Gold is humanity's oldest currency. It has survived empires, revolutions and countless paper currencies – and has never reached a value of zero.
Heimerle + Meule: Germany's oldest refinery
The bars are manufactured by Heimerle + Meule in Pforzheim. The company was founded in 1845 and is considered Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery; since June 3, 2014, its gold bars have been listed on the Good Delivery List of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). This accreditation formally applies to the large trading bars, but it demonstrates the analytical and manufacturing discipline of the entire operation – a signal of trust that buyers in the trade can immediately recognize.
Every gram of gold bar from Pforzheim bears a distinctive signature. The obverse features the lettering HEIMERLE+MEULE, the designation FINE GOLD 999.9, the legendary "foundry man" figure within a circle bearing the year 1845, the weight 0.5g, and the assay mark "melter assayer". Minted, Brilliant Uncirculated, precise: this is exactly how the product arrives to you as new goods.

Inflation hedge and value preservation: gold knows no printing press
Fiat money is printed, gold must be found, mined and refined. This limited supply is the reason why gold has served as an inflation hedge for millennia. When prices rise, paper money loses purchasing power – the precious metal, on the other hand, retains its intrinsic value. It's not without reason that central banks themselves hold enormous gold reserves: they distrust their own product.
Value preservation across generations is the second major point. A gold bar does not rust, does not fade, and needs no service plan. Investment gold is also VAT-free, and under current law, profits from its sale are generally tax-free provided the minimum holding period of one year is observed. Please note: this is general information and does not replace tax advice.
Comparison: 0.5-gram bars, gram bars and CombiBars
Compared to a 1-gram bar, the 0.5-gram unit offers even finer divisibility – ideal if you want to represent truly small amounts in a barter situation. Compared to a CombiBar with predetermined breaking points, this bundle has a tangible advantage: each bar is already fully separated and minted all around, so no broken edges arise that would need explaining upon resale. The price of this flexibility is a higher percentage premium, since manufacturing costs are incurred per piece. Anyone seeking maximum weight efficiency should choose the 100-gram bar; anyone seeking flexibility should choose these ten cards. Many investors simply combine both.
Who this bundle is suitable for
For beginners who want to build up physical silver and gold step by step. For families who want to keep a quiet reserve at home. For collectors who appreciate the Pforzheim foundry man figure. And for anyone looking for ten small gifts of lasting value – for a birth, christening or anniversary. Gold has been shining for millennia, and it will not lose that shine in the future either.
