Lehmann personally rescued some of the remaining products and tools from the debris. He rebuilt in 1946, again at Friedrichstrasse, where he had to leave in 1951 because of cold war tensions, moving further away from that kind of action to city west, “Bahnhof Zoo”. Other locations and branches in Berlin and Frankfurt am Main followed until the main store settled-in at Kantstrasse 106, which is the heart of the “Whilmersdorfer Kiez” in what would become THE neighborhood to be – Charlottenburg.
