About Me

Welcome to the Weihrauch Database.

This site started with a simple question: in what year was my Weihrauch made? On forums like Luchtbuks.net and the Weihrauch Owners Club, serial numbers and production years were shared — but scattered across dozens of threads. Useful if you knew where to look, hard to find again.

During a week of vacation I merged those two streams into a single database. What you see here is the result — and ever since, the database has been kept up to date by Weihrauch owners all over the world who register their own products. Every new entry makes the estimates a little more accurate.

This site is not an official Weihrauch project. It's a community effort: built by users, for users. The production years are estimates based on registered serial numbers, not factory records.

What you can do here:

The List — browse the full serial number archive and see estimated production years.
Date Your Weihrauch — enter your own serial number and get an estimate.
The Models — technical specifications and images of the models.
Submit — add your own Weihrauch to the database.

Questions, corrections, or want to contribute? Feel free to get in touch.

Kind regards,
Chris van Meer
