Julius Herz (1819-1911) founded a jewelry store in the lower Webergasse in 1843 and held the title of jeweler and goldsmith from 1854. His assortment ranged from household items such as sugar bowls and sauce boats to precious tiaras and fine jewelry. In 1886/87, he handed over the management of the company to his sons Adolf and Salomon Herz, who were appointed court jewelers shortly afterwards. Under the management of Bruno Netter, son-in-law of Adolf Herz, who had run the business since the late 1920s, the company merged with Joseph Herz Heimerdinger, another traditional Jewish company, and relocated to Wilhelmstraße 38, where Heimerdinger's business premises had been located since 1913. In 1938, the company still advertised under the name "Netter, Herz und Heimerdinger GmbH, Juweliere" before the business was looted and completely destroyed during the Reichspogromnacht on November 9/10, 1938.
