**Hanwag GmbH** is a German manufacturer of [mountaineering boots](/source/Mountaineering_boots) and [hiking boots](/source/Hiking_boot) headquartered in [Vierkirchen](/source/Vierkirchen).[1][2][3] Hanwag GmbH is part of Fenix Outdoor concern.

## History

Hanwag was founded in 1921 by Hans Wagner in the Bavarian town of Vierkirchen.[4]

In 1936, Hans Wagner supplied the first ski boots for the Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, at that time still made of leather.[5] During the war, the factory was looted, but production was soon able to restart, first under the Hawa brand, then eventually as Hanwag (Hans Wagner).[6]

In 2004, the company was sold to Sweden’s Fenix Group.[7][8]
