About
Holzbildhauerei Stiegeler is a wood-carving atelier run by Simon and Lillian Stiegeler in Grafenhausen, deep in Germany's Black Forest. From their workshop at Kirchsteig 5, they create hand-carved sculptures, sacred art, ornamental reliefs and bespoke decorative elements. Every cut is made by hand — no CNC, no shortcuts — honouring a tradition that stretches back centuries in the Schwarzwald.
Company story
Simon Stiegeler learned the art of wood carving from his father, continuing a family tradition rooted in the Black Forest's rich woodworking heritage. Together with his wife Lillian — a trained restorer — they operate a two-person atelier where commissions range from church altar figures and crucifixes to contemporary sculptural installations for private collectors. Their workshop, housed in a former farmstead overlooking the Schluchsee valley, is filled with the scent of linden, oak and walnut. The Stiegelers are also dedicated to preservation, regularly restoring 18th- and 19th-century carved altarpieces for churches across Baden-Württemberg.
