100 Years Triebel
On June 20th 2015 we celebrated our re-opening and our 100th anniversary with individually invited guests. A very big thank goes to our suppliers, who contributed significantly to the success of the celebration, through greetings, gifts, donations for the tombola and Goddie Bags (in the five-figure range) and their presence.

The lucky winners didn't really want to buy a lottery ticket, but rather donate 10 Euro for gun rights. They were "persuaded" to buy one.
Whoever wins such a high-quality binocular should soon make a hunting licence.

MANFRED ALBERTS GmbH
Dear Katja, dear Kristian,
100 Years Triebel - 50 years of which our families work together trustingly and amicably under the most diverse conditions. TRIEBEL / Berlin has always been a very special address for us.
No other retailer in the arms industry has been at the centre of change in Germany for as long as you have been. TRIEBEL has constantly changed and faced up to change with energy and confidence. A unique combination of craftsmanship, economic initiative and economic success, combined with an eye for the big picture in the arms industry.
Like no other in the retail landscape of our industry, TRIEBEL / Berlin leads the way, does not shy away from the spirit of the times and shows its passion for a liberal weapons law, which means for an important civil right also in Germany.
I would like to congratulate you on all this, also on behalf of my staff. It is an honor to count you among our customers. Keep it up!
Kind regards,
Your Rudolf Alberts
MANFRED ALBERTS GmbH
We thank Rudolf for his kind words.
His company ALBERTS donated a FRANCHI self-loading shotgun as one of the main prizes.
UMAREX
One person waits for the times to change, the other seizes the day and acts!" (Dante Alighieri)
The Triebel gun shop has "tackled" it - because those who wait stop.
Looking back on a 100-year company history, this is already a great occasion to celebrate and we at UMAREX pay tribute to this event and would like to send You our warmest congratulations on this very special company anniversary.
Since 1915 in Berlin - so Triebel can call itself a truly traditional gunsmith and arms manufacturer and is a witness of the most influential years and development in German economic history. Especially in this sector, where the path is certainly not always straight ahead, we are glad that businesses like Triebel have remained loyal to the market and thus decisively strengthen it.
We congratulate and say - keep up the good work!
To the next 100 years!
With kind regards

GUEST
Dear Triebel Team,
we would like to thank you again for inviting us to the successful 100th anniversary celebration.
100 years of successful family business, who can manage that nowadays?! You can be proud of your long family tradition. Even though we only visited for a short time due to schedule reasons, we felt very comfortable in the new ambience with excellent culinary delicacies and drinks.
We keep our fingers crossed for you and your company that you will continue to be successful in the future. I will gladly continue to recommend you.
Best regards,
J.H. Stadtjäger
Raffles and Goodie Bags
In addition to the prizes mentioned above, we received an infinite number of donations for the raffle and the many Goddie Bags. Each guest left the celebration with a full surprise bag containing a DVD by Blaser, interesting articles by Helmut Hofman, VDB and VISIER/caliber and merchandising (lanyards, pens, stickers) by Helmut Hofmann, LEICA, RUAG, VISIER/caliber and DWJ.
With the prizes donated by the suppliers we organized three raffles with 5 prizes each with a total value of over 2000 €. All proceeds of the ticket sales - worth a total of 1000 Euros - went to the German Rifle Association. Katja Triebel has been a member of the organisation team of the German Rifle Association (GRA) and the English-speaking Firearms United since 2013. Both organisations have in common that they work on an honorary basis without membership fees, one with the focus on Germany, the other with the focus on international, especially EU. It is very pleasing that both organisations are supported by all4shooters.com.
We would like to thank all our guests, suppliers and the full event service of Partyloewen-Berlin, who made this wonderful party possible for us.

The History
For more than 250 years the Triebels are active as gunsmiths, in 1915 great-grandfather Paul Thom founded the location in Berlin-Spandau - a real traditional company. In 1935 his son-in-law Walter Triebel took over the company. Walter Triebel descended from the arms forge town of Suhl and the traditional gunsmith family Christian Friedrich Triebel. He spent five years as a journeyman in Central Europe before settling in Berlin. His son Klaus Triebel continued the tradition, his grandchildren Kristian and Katja Triebel took over in 2004 and turned the traditional neighbourhood business into a modern supplier of hunting and sporting weapons that supplies the whole world.
 | 1750With this catalogue, ancestor Christian Friedrich Triebel from Suhl promotes his "manufacture of first-class utility and luxury rifles". |
 | 1915Great-grandfather Paul Thom founds the Berlin gun shop. |
 | 1935Walter Triebel, a master gunsmith from Suhl, takes over the business of his late father-in-law. |
 | 1969Klaus Triebel, at the time the youngest German master gunsmith, takes over his father's business. He parts with the steel goods and offers traditional costume fashion together with his wife Ute Triebel. He changes the company name to "Klaus Triebel Jagd-Trachten-Loden". |
 | 1989Until reunification West Berlin is under Allied administration. Every purchase and sale, even the transports, require Allied approval. No weapon is allowed to be stored at home. This situation changes 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall. |
 | 1998The first webshop, with 10,000 articles, is installed. The export business grows. Customers come from six continents. The offer of traditional costume fashion is abandoned. The shooting performance group SLG T'nT Berlin is founded. |
 | 2004Former juniors Katja Triebel and Kristian Triebel take over the business and change the company name to "Triebel Jagd- und Sportwaffen". |
 | 2006The webshop is replaced by a bilingual webshop. |
 | 2010New rooms for office, shipping and warehouse are added. |
 | 2015The shop is completely renovated in May/June. The 100th anniversary is celebrated. |
