The merchant Herz Seligmann Aschrott of Hochheim am Main owned a vineyard and lands in Hochheim and operated a linen trade in Kassel. In 1838, the family moved to Kassel. The son of Herz Seligmann Aschrott and his wife Regine, Sigmund Aschrott, who was born on June 14, 1826 still in Hochheim, returned to Kassel after his apprenticeship in a colonial wholesaler in Frankfurt, expanded his father's business and thus became the "father of the Kassel textile industry". He thus brought world renown to the Kassel linen industry.

The origins of the Augsburg textile factory M.S. Landauer lie in Hürben. There, in 1833, the weaver Moses Samuel Landauer set up his own business and by 1835 was already working on twelve hand looms in the cellar of his house in Hürben. In 1847, he set up his first mechanical business in a leased former oil and sawmill in Neuburg an der Kammel. At that time, the product range included cotton fabrics, bedding, calico, linen, meubling, sackcloth and much more. With increasing mechanization of production, hand weaving decreases.

The origins of the tricot factory lie in 1853 and 1860, when Leopold Levy and Simon Loewengard founded a textile factory, which initially produced only aprons.

Later Hermann Levy and Carl Loewengard took over the company. The company also sold abroad to England and Holland. With a large and modern machine park, the company had up to 400 employees from Hechingen and the surrounding villages.
