Ludwig Beck
165 years
Ludwig Beck will celebrate its 165th anniversary in 2026.
Since its founding in 1861, the store has evolved from a trimmings shop into a leading department store in a prime downtown location.
What sets this long-established company apart is its blend of history, prime location, and curated product expertise. As early as the 19th century, the company was awarded the title of “Royal Bavarian Court Trimmings Supplier” by King Ludwig II—a historical detail that highlights the store’s special status from the very beginning. Today, across seven floors, international fashion meets beauty, accessories, traditional attire, stationery, and music, complemented by a clear focus on expert advice.
The company says it does not view the anniversary as a look back, but rather as a clear commitment to brick-and-mortar retail. Accordingly, numerous promotions and surprises are planned for customers. Symbolizing the bridge between the brand’s heritage and the present is a specially produced anniversary shopping bag that features the brand’s signature motifs.
