Our history
1989: Founded
COLONEUM was founded in November 1989 by Alwin Homeier under the name Coloneum Wohnart Antik & Klassisch, initially as a generalist antiques shop. The first store opened in Schwandorferstraße in the north of Regensburg.
1991: Move into Regensburg’s old town
With the move to Regensburg’s historic town center, Alwin, with the support of his wife Elke, managed to reach a wider audience. First they moved into an old vault at Watmarkt in Regensburg’s antiques district. The next move to Tändlergasse 2 followed just one year later, when a larger store on two floors around the corner became available. During this time, the specialization in straight-lined, early Biedermeier furniture from around 1820 had already clear.
2003: Relocation to Watmarkt 3 – today’s permises
At the beginning of the 2000s, the opportunity arose to move into the more modern and brighter business premises of the former Radio Weigl, which were located directly opposite. At around this time, French Art Deco furniture was increasingly added to the range alongside early Biedermeier furniture.
2007: Expansion to Watmarkt 1
A breakthrough to the neighboring building Watmarkt 1 doubled the showroom floor space. The resulting showrooms of around 500 square meters still form the COLONEUM Antik showroom today.
2013: Participation in art and antiques fairs
Since 2013, the COLONEUM has regularly taken part in international art and antiques fairs in Munich and Vienna. Since then, many great exhibition stands have been designed over the years and numerous new customer have been acquired and valuable contacts were made.
2018: 2nd generation joins with son David
After his studies of Business Psychology and sustainability in Munich, David Homeier decided to join the family business and expand the international online trade. In addition to Biedermeier and Art Deco furniture, the range now increasingly includes vintage modern design classics from the second half of the 20th century.
2024: 35 years anniversary
COLONEUM Antik has been a leading specialist store for antique furniture in German-speaking countries for three and a half decades. Today, the focus is still on timeless Biedermeier furniture, elegant Art Deco furniture, extraordinary designer furniture and, for some years now, modern and contemporary art, especially Pop Art and signed Editions by artists such as Alex Katz.
