Louis Steigerwald founded the Steigerwald liqueur factory in 1869. Later, the sons Siegfried, Julius and Oskar Steigerwald inherited the liqueur factory "Steigerwald AG". From 1936, the so-called "Aryanization" of the company took place. At the end of 1937, the Steigerwald brothers transferred their shares to a Heilbronn bank under pressure. From then on, the company bore the name "Lucca". After the loss of the company, the Steigerwald couple moved to Berlin with daughter Suse Steigerwald. The daughter Edith Steigerwald had already emigrated to England in 1937.

On July 29, 1862, Wolf Manasse Wolf, who was born in Bieringen an der Jagst, was issued a certificate by the city of Heilbronn to legitimize his announcement submitted to the city council in Heilbronn that he wanted to operate a rag and country products business on his own account. As early as 1864, Wolf Manasse Wolf purchased a plot of land at Paulinenstraße 21 and built a residential and commercial building on it. The business was very successful, so that in 1871 and 1876 two adjoining buildings were newly equipped for the business. In 1900, a warehouse was added to a fourth building.

On July 5, 1882, Gustav Würzburger together with M. Strassburger and Sons ( these probably only as financiers ) bought the bankrupt brewery from Wilhelm Wecker Jr. at Deutschhofstraße 1 along with all the real estate and brewery equipment, thus acquiring the right to distill spirits, brewing and vinegar boiling.
