About Marmor Rupp
Marmor Rupp GmbH is a stonemasonry and stone sculpture workshop in Frankfurt am Main, founded in 1888 and run as a family business in its fourth generation. Its portfolio covers all design options for grave monuments, from consultation and design through to implementation, as well as natural stone work such as kitchen worktops, washbasins and staircases. The material used is natural stone, which displays a wide variety of colours and structures through its different minerals and, through shaping and surface treatments, is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, grave design and sculpture. The workshop has been located at the same site on Dortelweiler Straße at the Bornheim cemetery since around 1910. A model grave site designed and implemented there was awarded gold at the State Garden Show in Bad Nauheim. The company is managed by Silvia Ruths-Rupp and Saskia Ruths, both master stonemasons and sculptors.
