Despite Ludwig Loewe’s pivotal role in Germany’s pre-WW1 industrial success, only

sparse information on him and his work remains. His “Jewish enterprise” was expropriated

post-1933, falling under Günther Quandt’s control, where it stayed post-WW2.

All company records and correspondence subsequently disappeared. However, when

the few remaining information fragments are contextualized, a fuller picture of this

extraordinary man emerges. A man who devoted much to his homeland, only for his

heirs to be exiled and stripped of everything.
