Due to the economic boom, more and more Jewish families settled in Kreuzberg's Oranienstra&szlig in the 19th century. Hermann Leiser, who ran an egg business, also lived here. In 1889, his nephew Julius Klausner, then fifteen years old, moved to Berlin with the intention of opening a shoe shop. With the financial support of his uncle, Julius set up a shoe shop in the backyard of Oranienstraße 34 in 1891. Due to the low prices offered, demand from customers quickly increased. After only two years, the sales space became too small, and „the business-minded Julius“ expanded his business.
