    The Keiper House in Obermoschel - birthplace of the company founder Fritz Keiper (1881-1961) - is a highly informative facility with explanations and presentations on the history of automobiles from 1920, on people from the family, company and environment, products from then and now, as well as important milestones in the company development of the well-known automotive supplier Keiper. It is located at Kanalstrasse 2.
    After completing his apprenticeship as a blacksmith in his parents' company in Obermoschel, Fritz Keiper completed the master blacksmith examination in Hanover and was then responsible for the imperial vehicle fleet in Berlin, where he also dealt with locking techniques, hinges, covers and locks. In 1907 he moved to Remscheid to work for the Bertram company there.
    He occasionally went on sales trips with his patented Keiper convertible top and, thanks to his technical genius, sales success was not long in coming. On January 16, 1920, he founded his own company in Remscheid.
    Even in his old age, he set up a production facility in Mannweiler-Cölln after the Second World War (1939-1945). The company later moved to Rockenhausen and the development center was located in Kaiserslautern.
