Manufactory and fashion store Lennhoff

In 1868, Josef Lennhoff, who had come to Gladbach only a year earlier, founded the "Manufaktur- und Modewarenhandlung Lennhoff". Lennhoff moved into his business premises at the former Krefelder Straße 47, today's Hindenburgstraße.

Josef Lennhoff advertised a lot in the Gladbach daily newspaper. Among them also reports that he had his store closed on (high) Jewish holidays. However, this does not seem to have harmed his business economically.

In 1888, Josef Lennhoff left the city and closed his fashion shop. The reasons for this are no longer comprehensible today. Karl von Nordeck now ran a "fashion, gallantry, short, glass, porcelain and toy shop" in the business premises. This can be seen as evidence of the size of the business premises.
