Textile store N. Lifges

In the center of Süchteln, on Hochstraße, the brothers Nathan and Jacob Lifges had their "textile store N.Lifges". The store rooms were on the lower floor, the family lived in the upper.

By 1900, the Lifges brothers had abandoned their butcher shop and moved into the textile trade. In this field they proved to be very successful economically. After the death of Nathan Lifges in 1902, Jacob Lifges took over the business alone.

During the National Socialist rule, the textile trade had repeated problems with smeared anti-Semitic slogans. In 1942, after the deportation of the last family members, the business was continued by the Süchteln entrepreneur Tendyck, who also ran a textile trade here until 1952.

In 1952, the house was returned to the daughter of Jakob Lifges. Her husband, Kurt Wollstein reopened the "Lifges Textile House" here. The family continued to live in the house until the 1980s, when they finally sold it.

Today, the business premises house a branch of the "ernstings family" chain.
