An eventful past brought a prosperous future.
The company Blumen Krämer is founded by Adolf Krämer. The first business premises were in the building of the Schweizerische Kreditanstalt.
A new shop was built in the new building at Bahnhofstrasse 38, and at the same time a greenhouse extension was built as an extension of the shop into the backyard. The company Blumen Krämer was quickly known far beyond the country's borders as an exclusive, highly qualified flower and decoration shop. Competing companies sent their sons and daughters to Zurich for training for decades.
A world competition held in Germany in the flower arranging trade brought great success for Blumen Krämer, with the company winning practically all the first prizes.
Marriage of Adolf Krämer and Frieda Nagel.
Thanks to prudent management and the good economic development, Blumen Krämer soon enjoyed a strong upswing. Adolf Krämer died in 1926. However, the fate of the company was energetically taken over and continued by «Frau Blumen Krämer» - by which name she was known in the city of Zurich - with passion.
Frieda Krämer-Nagel (Frau Blumen Krämer) married the pioneer and Berlin florist Max Hübner, the now worldwide Fleurop-Interflora, who was its first president from its foundation in 1927 until 1939.
Annelies Spörri took over the management of Blumen Krämer ShopVille.
Scenes were shot at Blumen Krämer for the Swiss crime series «Ein Fall für Männdli». With a lot of local Zurich colour, Max Männdli (Ruedi Walter) investigated as an employee of the Tobler detective agency.

In March, Blumen Krämer decorated a giant egg with 16,000 daffodils to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The first 100 customers could buy a bouquet of daffodils at the anniversary price of 100 centimes.
In May, Blumen Krämer created the cow Margritli for the Zurich Cow Culture. After the exhibition, Arnold Schwarzenegger bought the cow, which was completely covered in moss and from which white daisy islands virtually grew.
Paul Fleischli takes over the management of the company.
After more than 110 years, a new tenant, in August, ousts Zurich's oldest flower shop from Bahnhofstrasse. A huge path of rose petals led from the former location on Bahnhofstrasse to the new and current premises at Talstrasse 62.
This was followed in March by a collaboration with Hiltl AG based on the concept of flowers and vegetarian food.
In May, Blumen Krämer took over the sponsorship of the floral decoration for the filming of the Swiss cinema film "Wanda mein Wunder" and was mentioned in the credits of the film for this.
In October, Blumen Krämer designed the floral decorations for the Zurich Film Festival for the first time. Old wooden boats from the Limmat Club Zurich, decorated with plants, adorned the Zurich Frauenbadi.
