Pianofortefabrik Feurich was established in 1851 by Julius Gustav Feurich. Julius' Grandfather and Father were already skilled piano tecnicians and the tradition of the family working with pianos goes back to the 18th century.

Julius Gustav was famous for being the first piano maker to intorduce the underdamper action in an upright piano and as a result he was a step ahead of his rivals as they only took up the innovation around 50 yars later. As Feurich Pianos became more sort after, a new factory was completed in 1910, in Leipsig, Germany. Approximatly 360 workers created 1000 upright pianos and 600 grand pianos each year and exports were seen all over the world. Feurich even built a concert hall in Leipsig where famous pianists performed. 

Julius continued to push beyond his peers and designed the famous vertical piano with a 'lap keyboard' that folded back into the piano if the instrument was in a small rom or on a ship.

Like most piano makers in Germany at the time Feurich suffered damage to their factory during WWII. Neverthless, they began to rebuild their company during the 1950's, however the partitioning of Germany made running a business very difficult. In 1959, Feurich was expropriated by the communist regime and as a result they saw a heavy decline in business. Eventually in order to escape the goverment's control, Feurich relocated to North Germany and began to rebuild it's reputation for world class instruments. 

Since 1993, Feurich has reached the very top in piano manufactoring and now work from a factory in Gunzenhausen. The company continue to produce worl class pianos and are currently consolidating with Wendl & Lung.
