Löwenstein - Salamander shoe store

Jacob Löwenstein was born on October 7, 1873 in Haaren/Ems. In 1904, he married Lilli Behr, the daughter of Celle merchant Aaron Behr. In 1910, Löwenstein took over a shop for outerwear and shoes from him at Zöllnerstra<e 5, which from 1933 was the sole agent for Salamander shoes in Celle. Lilli and Jacob Löwenstein had two children: Erich (born 1909) and Hilde (born 1911). Hilde died at the age of 15. Erich, a trained businessman, joined the company as a partner in 1936.
Due to the decline in turnover as a result of the boycott campaigns against Jewish businesses, the Löwensteins had to give up their business before the acts of terror against Jews in November 1938 and sell the house in Zöllnerstraße to the "Aryan" Rohde radio business. Erich Löwenstein emigrated to Argentina with his wife Lieselotte (born 1911) and their son Hans-Werner (born 1935). Jacob Löwenstein and his wife Lilli (born 1880) moved to Hanover in October 1938. Jacob Löwenstein died at the end of 1940 in the Liebenau ammunition factory labor camp (Nienburg/Weser district); his wife was able to follow the children to Argentina.
