Musikhaus Hieber Lindberg: Moving saves 101 years of tradition!

Sonnenstraße 19, 80331 München, Deutschland - In Munich, another traditional business remains. The Musikhaus Hieber Lindberg, which has been a fixture for more than 101 years, moves to a new branch in the immediate vicinity after 30 years at the old location at Sonnenstraße 15. The move, which will be carried out on June 30, 2025, has proven to be a major challenge, but all 58 employees can remain in the new business, which is a pleasant message for the team.

The decision for the move was dictated by increasing fixed costs, which recently drifted into an exorbitant rent. Managing Director Helmuth Klein and his team searched for new, affordable premises for months before calling from acquaintances to discover the new rooms. These not only offer lower rents, but also an area of ​​1800 square meters - a decline from the earlier 2800 square meters, which leads to reducing the issued guitars from 600 to 300 and the piano from 20 to 14. Nevertheless, the offer of the store remains impressive and diverse.

the move as a path to rescue

Hieber Lindberg has an eventful story. The original shop was founded by Max Hieber in 1884 and has been through a lot since then, including the destruction in World War II and a merger in 2006 with the music dealer Ernst Lindberg. The current financial difficulties not only result from high rents, but also from the pressure of online trade and falling profits. A move to Reichertshofen, 70 kilometers away, might have been closed forever.

With the move to Sonnenstrasse 19, Hieber Lindberg remains in an estimated neighborhood. The traditional shop photo Sauter will also move from house number 26 to 21 in Sonnenstrasse. The new Sauter branch is planning its opening for August 1 and 2, 2025 and promises to visitors free workshops and offers, which is another sign of the vitality of retail in Munich.

a city full of traditional business

The move of Hieber Lindberg is further proof of how important traditional transactions are for the cityscape of Munich. In the city center there are numerous shops with an impressive story and excellent customer service. Above all, names such as Sport Schuster, Hirmer Herren fashion and Dallmayr are on everyone's lips. Each of these business tells their own story, and many are still family -owned and are characterized by personal service, which has become rare today.

Overall, Hieber Lindberg's move is not only an entrepreneurial success, but also a sign of hope for inpatient trade in Munich. Despite the challenges that the future could bring, the city remains a place where history and traditionality trade forms an important foundation. The new premises promise an exciting future for the music house and its loyal customers who can look forward to the opening on July 1, 2025.
