Lindauer Cigar Factory                      (Kirchberg 1)

All that remains today of the Lindauer family estate is the building in which the former cigar factory was situated. In 1861 Salomon Lindauer received permission to open a General Store below the Adler Inn. The Lindauers were one of the financially most successful families in Buttenhausen. Technological innovations like the telephone or automobile were to be seen here first. Aside from their enterprise in Stuttgart, the Lindauer brothers, Max, Moritz and Karl, operated a cigar factory here from 1910 to 1928, thereby contributing employment opportunities and increasing general prosperity in Buttenhausen. A new factory was built in 1912, which, after being renovated several times, assumed its current form.

In 1939, Euchner, a Reutlingen textile company, obtained the building from the city of Stuttgart. The latter had bought up many houses from Jewish residents, thereby providing their owners with the means to leave the country – for many an action which would save their lives.
Between 1991 and 2000  an interim home was established here for emigrants from the former Soviet Union.
