Bookstore and publishing house M. Poppelauer

On May 22, 1860, Moritz Poppelauer (1824-1880) founded the bookstore M. Poppelauer and soon expanded it to include a publishing house. After his death, the business remained in the family and was continued from 1894 by his son-in-law Jacob Saenger, who died on February 14, 1939, eight weeks after the Nazis closed the business. The internationally known bookstore with an attached antiquarian bookshop specialized in Hebraica and Judaica and also sold Jewish ritual items, especially on the holidays. The publishing house published the Berlin Volkskalender für Israeliten from 1870 to 1928 and published scholarly works as well as schoolbooks and religious literature.
