Richard Riemerschmid, Hermann Obrist, Bernhard Pankok and Bruno Paul were among the founder members of these workshops initiated in 1897/98.

On the occasion of the Munich exhibition in the Glass Palace (1897) they formed a group and worked together with local craftsmen until their own workshops were opened (cutlery and porcelain continued to be manufactured externally).

As was the case with their colleagues in other countries, their manifesto emphasised the fact that their work was handcrafted and that the use of suitable materials was of great importance.
