Hundred eighty years of gunmaking tradition

The company's history dates back to the 1830's. At that time, the gunsmith Mathias Nowotny from Hradec Kralove settled in Vienna. In 1836, he received permission to practice his profession. He quickly became successful and opened additional to his manufacture shop in the Josefstadt a new branch at the Stock im Eisen-Platz 5. In 1856, he took his own life and a year later his widow sold the business to Johann Springer.

Johann Springer originated from Leutschach in Upper Hungary and came to Vienna as a master engraver. He also learned the profession of the gunsmith and later married Catherine Nowotny, the sister of Mathias Nowotny.
