Jersey factories - Hermann Moos

Hermann Moos had founded a shirt factory in 1840, which he later expanded into a jersey factory in times of modernization. His son Friedrich joined the company. From 1900 there were branches in Weingarten and Schussenried. The owners at that time were Hermann Moos with partners Alfred, Richard and Franz Moos. In 1922 the company expanded again and in 1923 the tricot weaving, shirt and blouse factory became the Trikotwarenfabrik Hermann Moos AG. In 1938, this company also became a victim of the "Aryanization" during the Nazi era. Hermann Moos emigrated to the USA; Franz Moos - soldier in the 1st World War and decorated with the EK II - was deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto in August 1942 and died there on April 22, 1944.
