We can find roots of the Scholze family company as well as of the Scholze brand back in the second half of the 19th century in the German-Czech borderland, in the towns of Warnsdorf, Jiříkov and Ústí nad Labem. As a matter of interest, the company founder Franz Scholze, being young then, got into the piano industry just by a chance. Because he was manually skilled, his neighbour asked him to shorten his piano. Although he did not have any experience, he successfully managed to do that. What is more, this craftsmanship attrated him insofar that he got trained in the piano craft in German companies and pursuant to historical sources, he established his own piano firm in 1876 (12 years after the PETROF company had been established).

The success of his business activities is proved by 6,140 opus numbers during the 30-year existence of the company, i.e. by 1906. The Scholze company was constructing instruments of its own design. Upright pianos of 5 sizes, from 110 cm up to concerto upright pianos up to the height of 142 cm and grand pianos of 5 sizes – from 140 cm up to orchestral grand pianos of the size of 280 cm. These instruments started to compete with the already established makes of August Förster, Rösler and PETROF.

In 1911, a branch plant was established in Jiříkov. Two of the four sons of Franz Scholze, the founder, namely Emil and Rudolf, were put in charge of the branch management. The parent company in Warnsdorf was managed by the other two sons, Adolf and Franz. Sons of the founder stayed with the company until its nationalization in 1948. Over more than 70 years of the Scholze family company existence, this brand established such a strong position on the market that it was able to hold it within the Central-European piano giant - Československé hudební nástroje (Czechoslovak Musical Instruments) for almost 60 years after the company dissolution.

In the 1990´s of the 20th century, i.e. after more than 115 years after its establishment, the Scholze brand became a part of the PETROF company make portfolio.
