History of JOSEF SEIBEL
Dear shoe lover, let us dive together into the over 135-year history of the JOSEF SEIBEL brand. The brothers Carl August and Anton Seibel laid the foundation for the company with a sole punching machine in 1886. In the following decades, subsequent generations of the Seibel family led the company through ups and downs and steadily expanded it. Today, in the fifth generation, Franziska Seibel and her husband Michael Fischer are at the helm of the company. Learn more about the eventful history on the company page.
Regional Focus, Modernization, and Sustainability
Franziska and Michael are focusing on modernization and sustainability. They are also driving the digitalization of the company. The traditional glass shoe factory in Hauenstein offers visitors an insight into shoe production and presents the company's history. Learn more about the sustainable initiative Spirit of Nature and the appreciation of tradition in the Tradition at Heart section.
