The story
The company was founded by the Victor family from Herkheim, who ran a trade in furs and skins there. Julius Victor (* June 15, 1838; † August 30, 1887 in Heilbronn) acquired the citizenship of the city of Heilbronn on July 3, 1862; at that time he could prove a fortune of 3000 gulden. In 1868, Julius, Joseph and Victor Victor went into business for themselves as Gebr. Victor in Heilbronn at Große Biedermannsgasse 10, in order to continue trading there on a larger scale, now for smoked goods, game and saddlery leather goods.
In 1882, the company moved to Cäcilienstraße 42 a. In 1887, a glue factory was added. By 1899, the company was advertising the import of overseas hides, and was owned by the sons of the founders Victor, Jakob Victor I and Jacob Victor II, as well as the widow of Joseph Victor, and from 1908 also Sigmund Victor.
