It all started back in 1886, when Carl-August Seibel founded one of the first shoe factories in Hauenstein, a small village in Germany. The village of Hauenstein, even today, has about 5,000 inhabitants. At that time, Mr. Seibel was making shoes and sandals, of various constructions, in his own home. In 1907 a new, big factory, was built. This facility is still one of the production units today. As years passed, the business was taken over by a third generation, under Josef Seibel. This family owned company is run today by a fourth generation under Carl-August Seibel. Premium quality in materials, the best workmanship, and comfort. These main principles have helped Josef Seibel become know worldwide as "The European Comfort Shoe"
