Shoe factory - Ludwig Heimann

Ludwig Heimann founded the company " Schuhwaren en gros " in 1886. For the year 1895 the order and delivery of a steam engine is documented. The company's letterhead is adorned with a silver medal from the Bavarian State Industrial Trade Exhibition in Nuremberg in 1896. In 1906, health reasons led Ludwig Heimann, the founder of the company, to decide to slowly withdraw from the company and hand it over to his nephews Max Landenberger and Wilhelm Heimann. The nephews' takeover of the business and the patent registration of the Medicus shoe brand and its nationwide distribution carried the company and its success through the difficult times of inflation and economic crisis. As a result of the Aryanization of Jewish businesses and companies, Max Landenberger was forced to sell the company and its assets in the summer of 1938. Wilhelm Heimann had already emigrated by this time.
