Quality and an abundance of ideas are traditional characteristics of VAUEN, which go back 160 years. This means 160 years of skilled craftmanship paired with contemporary technology. 160 years experience with the individual wishes of the pipe-lovers of today and tomorrow. Come with us through the world of VAUEN – the passionate pipemaker – since 1848. In 1848 Karl Ellenberger and his partner Carl August Ziener turn an idea into reality in Nuremberg. The very first German pipe manufacturing company produces tobacco pipes from selected woods for connoisseurs throughout the world. The Vereinigte Pfeifenfabriken in Nuremberg (known in short as VPFN) was brought into being in 1901 with the amalgamation with the Gebhard Ott pipe factory founded in 1866, also in Nuremberg.
