%X 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.
