Translations:Gaggenau/10/en

Otto's son Georg von Blanquet took over at the helm of Gaggenau from 1956. Inspired by a passion for cooking, he had a vision of a custom-designed fitted kitchen with technically sophisticated and easy to use appliances. He relentlessly pursued his vision despite all the difficulties. Georg von Blanquet took advantage of the booming culinary culture at the time and the new esteem in which kitchen appliances were held in the post-war era. His ideas were not only pioneering for Gaggenau, but for the entire sector. He paved the way for the evolutionary fitted kitchen, constructed the first built-in eye level oven in 1956 and launched the first separate cooktop and ventilation appliances on the market. With his passion for cooking, he knew to use his company to challenge the engineers to take account of the needs of professional chefs.
