Our success story - from 1887 to today

1887 - 1974
How it all began

On April 5, 1887, Heinrich Zumnorde (born in 1846) laid the foundations for the future company Zumnorde with his small "shoe goods" store in Münster's Kuhstraße. In 1911, the second generation, Alexander Zumnorde , moved the business to the famous Prinzipalmarkt 34. To this day, our shoe store here is an unmistakable part of Münster's typical silhouette.

1948 - 1983
The restart

It is our shoe store that is the first gabled house with a sandstone façade to reopen on Prinzipalmarkt after the Second World War in 1948 to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Peace of Westphalia. In 1960, expansion into other cities begins, followed by shoe stores in Dortmund, Bielefeld and Osnabrück.  

1983 - 2011
Zumnorde as host

Under the management of the brothers Franz-Josef and Heinrich Jr., further stores are opened in Detmold, Oldenburg, Erfurt, Paderborn, Dresden, Braunschweig, Hildesheim, Schwerin, Wilhelmshaven, Leipzig and Cologne. In 1994, another dream came true: the brothers opened the hotel Zumnorde am Anger with a now renowned restaurant - right in the tranquil heart of Erfurt.

2011 - today
Looking ahead

Zumnorde is also expanding at management level: Thomas Zumnorde, son of Franz-Josef, joins the company in 2011 and begins to expand into the online sector. With the arrival of Bruno Zumnorde, son of Heinrich and Kerstin, the latest generation is complete. Together, they are looking forward to further expanding their family business.
