The history of the Romika company goes back to the Rollmann & Mayer shoe factory, which was founded in Cologne in 1873. According to the commercial register entry of December 29, 1921, its sole owner, Hans Rollmann, founded the new company Romika together with his partners Carl Michael and Karl Kaufmann, which started shoe production in 1922 in Gusterath-Tal near Trier. Both shoe factories experienced rapid growth up to 1933 and employed well over 2000 people in Cologne and the Gusterath valley.
