“Griaß Di” column (1 m) made of corten steel – Bavarian decorative rust column with edelweiss and planter bowl

A heartfelt greeting that lasts: “Griaß Di” – finely laser-cut into this 1-metre-tall, tapered column (32 × 32 → 22 × 22 cm), crowned with the Edelweiss, queen of the Alpine flowers. With an optional planter bowl up to Ø 60 cm, it becomes an outdoor flower column that welcomes your guests at the front door in true Bavarian style – crafted where people actually greet each other that way: in our workshop in Bavaria.

💡 The matching northern greeting: the “Moin” column with lighthouse – from “Moin” to “Griaß Di”, there’s something for every front door.

🛠️ Material & workmanship

• Material: genuine Corten steel – column and square bowls 1 mm, round bowls solid 1.5 mm
• Lettering and edelweiss are laser-cut – every column is unique
• handcrafted in our workshop in Bavaria – Made in Germany
• Corten steel is a weather-resistant structural steel (used in bridges and facades) – extremely durable
• the decorative rust patina makes every piece unique

🌿 Weatherproof & durable

Corten steel forms a protective barrier layer beneath the visible rust that seals the material and prevents further corrosion. The column is frost-proof, weather-resistant and low-maintenance, can stay outside all year round and only gains character over time.

💡 Planting tip

All bowls are removable, can be easily planted separately and are simple to store in winter. For healthy planting we recommend a drainage layer of gravel so that the drain hole or slots remain clear. Especially harmonious with the Alpine motif: gentian, silver thistle or – of course – edelweiss.

🎁 For which occasion?

The “Griaß-Di” column is the perfect gift for a housewarming, a birthday for all Bavaria lovers – and for everyone who wants a little piece of home by their front door, even when they live far away.

What does “Griaß Di” mean?

“Griaß Di” is the warm Bavarian greeting – “Grüß Dich” (“hello there”). Together with the edelweiss, the column welcomes your guests in true Bavarian style.

Can I illuminate the column?

Yes. The lettering and edelweiss are fully cut through and the column is open at the bottom – with an LED string light or candle inside, the greeting shines atmospherically to the outside in the evening.

Will the column be delivered fully rusted?

Yes. Your column made of genuine Corten steel is already fully rusted when delivered – you’ll see the decorative rust finish immediately, just like in the photos. No waiting, no after-treatment required.

You have the choice: square bowls (50 × 50 cm, standard or 15 cm deep) or round bowls with Ø 50, 53 or 60 cm – all removable.

Can the column stay outside all year round?

Yes. Corten steel is weatherproof and frost-resistant and designed for long-term use in the garden, on the patio or balcony.
