Founded by Wolf Löwenstein in Jebenhausen in 1866, the business was moved to Göppingen in 1867 and continued by his son Heinrich Löwenstein under his name. In 1899, Heinrich Löwenstein's son Julius Löwenstein joined as a partner. After the death of Heinrich Löwenstein in 1916, Julius Löwenstein continued the business as sole proprietor. In 1933, Julius Löwenstein and his wife Ida, née Gunz moved to Sontheim near Heilbronn to the "Jewish Home for the Elderly" there. In 1934, Julius Löwenstein sold his house to his brother-in-law Emil Hilb.

The first shareholders of the company "Rosenthal, Fleischer & Co." were Samuel, Julius and Leopold Fleischer and Adolph Rosenthal, who lived in London and left the company again as early as 1889.
