Hermann Historica

The company was founded more than fifty years ago in Nuremberg by Count Erich Klenau von Klenova, Baron of Janowitz and quickly achieved renown and the recognition of international collectors and museums. The early auctions of coins and medals were soon supplemented in the foundation years with auctions of ”Orders and Decorations” together with “Collectibles from History and Military History”.

Today, the auction house with its approximately 40 staff members has cooperations and representatives in many European countries as well as in the United States. For its more than 60,000 clients worldwide, Hermann Historica GmbH ran two auctions a year until 2018, and is now accelerating this to up to six auctions annually as of 2019. 2019 also saw the introduction of a new type of auction, the online-only sale, where all bidding is done exclusively on the internet. Some 14000 to 160000 collectors’ items are auctioned off, generating an average annual turnover of over 15 million Euros.
