Following World War 2 many displaced instrument makers from Bohemia and Saxony settled in Bubenreuth, Germany and it became a centre of excellence in string instrument manufacture.

One of these makers was Wolfgang Hüttl (1921-1995) who founded the Wolfgang Hüttl brand in 1946. Hüttl's wife was the daughter of the Klier company owner. The Hüttl company had its own factory employing approximately 50 people, some of whom were home workers.

Hüttl produced mainly guitars and basses (and mostly acoustic models but some electrics). In the later years of the company, some Hüttl instruments were also imported from Asia. The company ceased trading in 1983.
