Christian Ruetz – ruetzpipes
pipe maker, craftsman, artist, artisan
The term "pipe maker" doesn't quite do justice to my ambitions. I want to create pipes that are good smokes and accompany people in very special moments. Calm, reflection, peace, affirmation of life, openness. But at the same time, it is important to me that my pieces have a message, a deeper meaning.
What inspires me: working with my hands and with materials from nature. In moments when I am in my workshop thinking about life and looking through the window at the beautiful Tschirgant massif, which has been on our planet for millions of years, the real "ruetz" pipes are created. This is how the style of "ruetzpipes" came about. Nature, roughness, tolerance . I like people with stories, with scars. Authentic, honest. And that's how my pipes should be too.
Anyone who knows my work knows that this is expressed above all by the incorporation of the natural bark of the briar. The segmented bark on shaft and mouthpiece is particularly “ruetz”.

ruetzpipes is a family business. Since my very first pipe there is one person who supports my like no one else – my wife Dagmar. In June 2024 she finally also started making pipes with me – as a RR special edition with its one stamp.
