It was the home and workplace of the company's owners and directors, Dr. Max Abraham (1831–1900) and Dr. Henri Hinrichsen (1868–1942), who was murdered at the Auschwitz concentration camp. Both men gained international recognition through their publishing work while making lasting contributions to the cultural and social life of the city of Leipzig.
