The furniture Kraft AG is a retail company in the furniture industry. The company is based in Bad Segeberg in Schleswig-Holstein . The north German company operates a total of eight furniture stores in six federal states.

history

Möbel Kraft was founded in 1893 by Hinrich Kraft as a small cabinet maker. His son, the master carpenter Artur Kraft, built the well-known red and white Bad Segeberg furniture store , borne by the great need for new furniture in the post-war period . In 1973 the sons Gerhard and Reinhard Kraft joined the company.

In 2004, the furniture entrepreneur Kurt Krieger , owner of the Höffner furniture store, joined Möbel Kraft AG and thus saved the company from impending bankruptcy.

On September 6, 2007, the third furniture store with 40,000 m² sales area on four floors and with 500 employees was opened in the Schöneberg district of Berlin . The approximately 4,000 m² kitchen studio showed around 150 model kitchens. The building was erected on the site of the former Schöneberg cycling track and was controversial in the planning approval . In order to enable the approach from the city ​​motorway from the east, the previously missing north-eastern connecting curve towards Sachsendamm was implemented at the Schöneberg motorway junction .
