Bauhaus DIY and Home Improvement Store

Bauhaus is a leading European retail chain specializing in home improvement, gardening, and workshop products. Established in Mannheim, Germany, in 1960 by Heinz-Georg Baus, it was the first company in Europe to introduce the concept of a 'one-stop-shop' for DIY enthusiasts, modeled after the American hardware store format. The brand is synonymous with large-scale retail outlets that provide a vast range of tools, building materials, and home renovation supplies under one roof.

Today, Bauhaus remains a privately held family business, maintaining its headquarters in Belp, Switzerland. While the brand originated in Germany, its ownership and administrative operations moved to Switzerland. The products sold within Bauhaus stores are sourced from a global network of suppliers, ranging from local German manufacturers to international production sites across Europe and Asia, ensuring a diverse inventory for both professional contractors and hobbyists.
