- LUDWIG BECK am Rathauseck - Textilhaus Feldmeier AG operates as a premium fashion retailer in Germany, specializing in the sale of apparel, accessories, beauty products, and lifestyle goods through its flagship "Store of the Senses" department store on Munich's Marienplatz and an online shop.

BARBARA STURM, TOM FORD, LA MER, BYREDO, and niche brands; accessories, leather goods, paper products, stationery, lifestyle items, home decor, and sound recordings; as well as related services like clothing alterations, make-up consultation, style counseling, skin analysis, and eyebrow treatments. Founded in 1861 and headquartered at Marienplatz 11 in Munich, Germany, the company focuses on medium and premium price segments, serving local customers, tourists, and online shoppers primarily in Germany with around 453 employees. In the first half of fiscal year 2025, LUDWIG BECK reports gross sales of €37.8 million, up 1.5% year-over-year despite subdued consumer sentiment and macroeconomic challenges, driven by a 5.4% increase in online sales and textile segment growth from €28.3 million to €29.0 million; gross profit rose to €15.5 million with a stable gross margin, though earnings after taxes stood at €-2.7 million due to higher depreciation, adjusted deferred tax assets, and operating expenses. The company anticipates stabilization in the third quarter of 2025, bolstered by the Munich Oktoberfest, and maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook for the full year amid ongoing retail sector pressures, with no recent acquisitions, partnerships, funding rounds, or major strategic shifts reported.
