Origin – Vienna Technical Museum brings company history to life with HOERBIGER
Hanns Hörbiger laid the foundation for today’s HOERBIGER Group in 1895 with the invention of the steel plate valve. The Hörbiger family of entrepreneurs not only contributed to the development of the Group, but also influenced societal, social and cultural development on many other levels.
Through a partnership with the Vienna Museum of Science and Technology, Austria’s largest museum of technical history, the history of the Hörbiger family and the Austrian roots of the global technology group they founded are now being brought to life. To this end, the museum’s historical documents on HOERBIGER will be merged with the existing company archive and expanded.
“The origins and history of a company play a central role for employees as well as for customers and partners,” said Dr. Andreas Hünerwadel, President of the Board of Trustees of the HOERBIGER Foundation. Together with the current family shareholder Mrs. Christiana Hörbiger and the other members of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Hünerwadel has assumed responsibility for protecting the heritage of the entrepreneurial Hörbiger family. “Through our history, we make visible where we come from and what we stand for,” he says.
