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

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 1 g is not a Good Delivery bar.

The 1g gold bar from Heimerle and Meule brings exactly one gram of the purest fine gold with a fineness of 999.9 into your hands. Small, handy, Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) – and yet genuine money, as humanity has known it for millennia. The minted bar is delivered securely fixed on an elegant black-and-gold Kettner card with RFID-blocker function, which also protects your contactless cards in your wallet. The bar carries no face value; its value is derived solely from the fine gold it contains and moves with the gold price. This means you are not holding a mere souvenir in your hands, but full-fledged investment gold in the smallest sensible denomination.
Heimerle and Meule – Tradition from Pforzheim since 1845
Heimerle and Meule was founded in 1845 in Pforzheim and is Germany's oldest gold and silver refinery. This traditional house is the source of a fine gold bar that meets the highest standards of purity and craftsmanship. Since 2014, the manufacturer has been certified by the LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) for "Good Delivery" – a quality seal that stands for impeccable tradability worldwide. As an unmistakable trademark, the company mints the famous "Melter Man" with the founding year 1845 on its bars: the gold caster pouring liquid gold.
What the Minted 1-Gram Bar Looks Like
The obverse shows at the top the lettering HEIMERLE + MEULE, below it the designation "FINE GOLD", the fineness "999.9" as well as the round bar logo with the Melter Man and the year 1845. This is followed by the fine weight "1g" and the assay stamp "melter · assayer". The shape is rectangular with rounded corners, the dimensions are approximately 15.0 x 8.7 x 0.43 mm. On the black wavy Kettner card, the motto "Real money, for 6,000 years" is emblazoned in gold – a fitting tribute to the world's oldest means of payment.
Crisis Protection and Value Preservation in Small Form
Physical gold has accompanied humanity for over 6,000 years as a store of value. It has never had a value of zero, possesses intrinsic value, and is recognized worldwide as currency. It is not without reason that central banks hold enormous gold reserves – they only trust the paper money they themselves created to a limited extent. Small denominations in particular demonstrate their strengths in a real emergency:
- They can be inconspicuously stored in a wallet and taken along even on trips to distant foreign countries without attracting attention.
- Whether for emergency situations at home or on the go: small amounts of gold and silver are popular, secure companions for uncertain times.
- As a means of exchange, a gram of fine gold is recognized worldwide, tradable at any time, and can be quickly converted back into cash if needed.
As an inflation hedge, physical gold preserves your purchasing power while fiat money loses value. Gold is the big brother of small silver – and a proven building block for long-term value preservation. Anyone who regularly acquires small gram bars builds up, step by step, a real asset that can be passed on through generations.
Gold is real money – and has been shining for millennia. This shine it will never lose.
Investment Gold as a Gift – Substance Counts
One gram of gold is the ideal entry point into physical gold investment and is excellently suited for gifting something more than a fleeting trinket for a baptism, birthday, or wedding – a real investment instead. Despite the personal occasion, you are acquiring full-fledged investment gold here: minted fine gold from one of the most renowned German manufacturers, whose value is based on the current gold price. Anyone who holds the bar for at least one year after purchase can generally sell it tax-free again in Germany. In this way, the 1g gold bar from Heimerle and Meule combines a personal gesture with tangible wealth building – small format, big impact.
