Adolf Jandorf with his family, 1908.

Abraham Adolf Jandorf (February 7, 1870, in Hengstfeld – January 12, 1932, in Berlin) was a Jewish German businessman, who owned and operated the department store chain A. Jandorf & Co. Through his use of the most modern sales techniques, he rose from humble beginnings to become one of Germany's major merchants. With the Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe) in Berlin in 1907, he founded what is today Germany's best-known department store.[1][2][3][4]
