About us


Dear Nature Lover!

Our first catalogue appeared in 1948 – for the past seven decades we have been consistently extending our offer. The idea of active nature conservation and maintaining our biodiversity have accompanied us since our company was founded, the development that would ensue was not at all foreseeable at that time.


Initially small and with a few Nest Boxes in the product range, then as a pioneer in many areas of nature conservation – often derided and now accepted and established. Whether Bat nesting aids in the 1970s, mammal protection such as Hedgehog Domes in the 1980s, promoting Beneficial Insects and Wild Bees in the 1990s or the rediscovery of the “building” habitat from the turn of the millennium – all are now standard elements in nature conservation.


We have not forgotten our roots. We continue to produce the undisputed widest range of Bird Nest Boxes to this day. For us it is important, not to optimise the production, but to also consider the regional characteristics and preferences of the animals. There are often multiple potential nesting aids – the location, the light incidence, attachment options or protection against predators are then important selection criteria.


We will be very pleased to advise you and help you to find a suitable solution for you and your feathered friends. Apart from appropriate design of the roosts for the respective species, it is the outstanding breathability, easy cleaning, inspection and durability of SCHWEGLER wood-concrete that are particularly advantageous. Our material is also optimally suitable for installation in buildings, increasing fire protection requirements are also often easier to meet with wood-concrete.


Protecting the diversity of species on the building, in the building and in the garden as a positive factor of urban quality of life also requires the retention and the creation of suitable nesting options. The space used by our housing and commercial developments inevitably encroaches on the habitat of many species – a development that, with intelligent planning and suitable products, can be implemented in an environmentally (more) compatible way. Our guiding principle for 70 years remains the same: We develop and produce the (world) best Nest Boxes and species protection products and, in doing so, respect nature and our environment. We take seriously our social responsibility to our employees, customers and suppliers.


Not profit maximisation by transferring production to other countries, but production that is intended long-term and aware, with mainly local sources and suppliers is our motto. For three generations now, this knowledge of the how and why has guaranteed sustainability and continuity and gives our customers the certainty that with its product diversity, SCHWEGLER is and remains a dependable partner in practical nature conservation work.


With greetings from Schorndorf
