      ALBERT DIEDRICH DOMEYER GMBH & Co, KG, PlantLage 9, BREMEN.

      The company was established in 1919 and was specialized in articles for the fire brigade and luftschutz. Now, it is still in big business in the field of firemen's protective clothings and badges, lifejackets, etc.

      best regards

        CARL LIPPOLD, Bohlweg 14, BRAUNSCHWEIG

        The company was established in May 1885 by Carl Lippold (1860-1934) as an "Herren und Damenaustattungsgeschaft" (austattung=outfit) and was still in business some twenty years ago but probably at another address.

          This is their current logo:

                        I think it's time to dust off this worthy thread started by Chris over nine years ago. A little of history about Breiter company:

                        All began in 1863 when Adalbert Breiter opened a millinery (Hutmacherwerkstatt) with a store in the little town of Rott. He also rode a cart pulled by horses to sell his handmade hats in the surrounding communities. We must consider that in 1870 the cost of a good hat of quality velvet was very high (about 7 goldmarks) but it was a good investment because it lasted a lifetime. Towards the end of the century, Breiter decided to emigrate to the nearby city of Rosenheim, after selling the house, the shop and the laboratory. He quickly became the main Hutfachgeschäft of the city because he was able to adapt his output to the different needs of the urban and rural population. In 1911 his son, also named Adalbert, opened a seat in München, in order to expand his business and to gain new customers, buying with good foresight the Eberl-Wolf Hutfachgeschäft in Dachauerstraße 14. After the disaster of World War I there was a stagnation in business, but in 1918 he opened another shop, initially for rent, in Kaufingerstraße 23-26, near the Marienplatz in the heart of München (from this the nickname "Hutmacher am Dom"), producing hats for men and women, gloves, ties and other clothing accessories. In March 1930, he bought a further seat in Isartor, Zweibrückenstraße, still known today as "Breiterhof", creating a real productive and commercial chain. At the end of World War II, however, everything was destroyed. The sons Max and Adalbert Simon (who had studied as Hutmacher before the war in Augsburg) survived the war and took over the business, recreating a new enterprise from the ruins and reopening the Dachauerstraße, Zweibrückenstraße and Kaufingerstraße locations. Currently the company is still in business.

                          According to "Firmendb.de", Oskar Hertlein is still in business today as a "Pelzwaren Hersteller". Maybe for fur-caps as well.
