Hermann Historica

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hermann Historica GmbH is one of the world's leading auction houses for militaria and hunting objects. The Munich- based company was founded in the 1950s by Reich Count Erich Klenau von Klenova with a focus on coins and medals , which was later supplemented by orders and decorations (Graf Klenau oHG). In 1982 Wolfgang Hermann and Ernst-Ludwig Wagner took over the company.

The auctions of the collections of Axel Guttmann and Karsten Klingbeil became particularly well known . Some auctions generate an international response, e.g. B. the auction with everyday objects of Adolf Hitler . In addition to the main focus on militaria, other historical objects are also auctioned.
