About us
Our history and our origins
The history of the company Mechtild Brune GmbH already begins in 1904, when Bernhard and Maria Brune open a shoemaking in the German city of Gladbeck. In the year 1920, they expand their business and open a shoe store in the building right beneath.
In 1953, their son Willi Brune and his wife Katharina take over the business and tear down the old building to build a new one that offers an area of more than 100 square metres. In comparison to the shoemaking, the shoe retailing business becomes more and more important.
In 1982, their son Heribert Brune takes over the business in the third generation. He keeps the head office in Gladbeck until the year 1995, when he has to abandon the location. Together with his wife Mechthild Brune he founds the new company Mechthild Brune GmbH and he opens a new Mephisto Store in the city of Essen in Germany. A second store is opened in the year 1997 in the city of Dortmund.
