David Littmann was born on July 12, 1882 in the USA. He bought a pharmacy in 1928. He was considered a respected trainer. His pharmacy ran well until 1933, when the Nazis came and they had to emigrate. In 1935, a purchase agreement was signed between Quermann and Littmann, but Quermann had not paid for the pharmacy. This delayed their departure until 1939, when the family moved back to the Littmann’s country of birth (USA). 1951 saw the restitution process and a claim by the Mohren Pharmacy on Littmann's part. He was supposed to pay 165,000 marks in compensation, but could not afford it. The pharmacy becomes a state-owned enterprise and is thus nationalized. According to the Thuringia Restitution Act, Littmann did not have to pay anything.
After the GDR, there was another lawsuit between Littmann’s sons and the descendants of Quermanns.
This time, the Littmann’s won, and after 60 years, the pharmacy was back in the possession of the Littmann’s.
