Küllenberg August, Solingen

Küllenberg August, Solingen

The August Küllenberg, Stahlwarenfabrik, was founded prior to 1921 in Solingen-Gräfrath and registered its trademark in 1921. The company specialized in steel goods and expanded during the Nazi era to edged weapons, particularly early SA service daggers. It did not receive an RZM code, limiting production to the early phase of NSDAP equipment. The location in Solingen-Gräfrath underscores the region's tradition as a center for blade production in Germany.

The firm produced approximately 1,000 SA service daggers (Sturmabteilung), rated with a rarity of 5/5 as extremely rare. These daggers bear the motto "Alles für Deutschland" and typically feature nickel-silver fittings. Other products include general steel goods like knives and cutlery.

The logo of August Küllenberg consisted of a stylized "A" above an inverted "K," registered in 1921. This trademark emphasized craftsmanship and made the products recognizable in the collector's scene.

Today, the products of August Küllenberg are coveted collectibles that embody the historical development of the Solingen manufacturer history in the edged weapons industry. The limited production and focus on early Nazi weapons make them an important example of the Nazi era, ideal for an encyclopedia on Solingen manufacturers.
