130 years Gallus - a brand with tradition

Heinrich Vogels (1840 – 1926) - the founder of Gallus - is the father of the success of the high quality men’s shoes.
 
 
Gallus can look back on a long and successful company history:
The Vogels family establishes Gallus in 1880 in the district of Viersen.
An eventful time In Germany:
As the first German Reich Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck introduces social laws (health and accident insurance) and Germany goes economically and socially through a tense period of industrialisation.
In 1970, the second Gallus factory is set up in Carinthia. Not even nine years later, Gallus files a patent application for the brand Liberty and advances from common shoe manufacturer to become a producer of comfortable and functional shoes.
A Dutch company takes over the Gallus Group in 1997.
