Leather manufacture - Eduard Höchstädter

Eduard Höchstädter received permission to establish a leather trading business in August 1861. Already on July 1, 1860, he had submitted a concession and settlement application for the operation of the leather trade to the city of Nördlingen. Eduard Höchstädter then acquired the house at Schäfflesmarkt 11, which was in a good business location, and successfully operated his leather wholesale business there. At the beginning of the 20th century, he left the business to his successors Simon Hirschfelder and Berhard Lemle and opened a new leather business in Munich in the immediate vicinity of Karlsplatz (Stachus). In 1935 he gave up the Munich business and emigrated to the USA.
