The company was opened in 1932 by the merchant Otto Werner (1884–1955) and his nephew Werner Sauerwald (1910–1996) after they had acquired the building of the previously Jewish-owned department store Elsbach & Frank on the corner of Osterstraße and Große Packhofstraße. Like their predecessors, the merchants offered women's, men's and children's outerwear with an adjoining made-to-measure department.
