The company C. Wirschke was founded in Berlin in 1946. The move to Düsseldorf took place three years later. Here the company developed from a Maßatelier to the traditional house for upscale women’s and men’s fashion. Clemens Wirschke has been running the oldest fashion house in Düsseldorf as the third generation of the entrepreneurial family since 2004. Together with his wife, the influencer Patricia Wirschke, the company is launching exciting collaborations, such as with the young knitting label Anna V Berg.
“With the award of the fashion company C. Wirschke, we not only appreciate 76 years of impressive commitment to the fashion and business location in Düsseldorf, but also the close and grown connection with our city. C.

The company’s success story has shaped the fashion industry far beyond regional borders and will continue to be a great example of the development of the industry in our city in the future, ”said Christian Zaum, a member of the state capital of Düsseldorf, in its laudation.
“C. Wirschke is an outstanding example of a company that combines tradition with innovation.
