In the spring of 1915, 15-year-old Carl Birkenstock, who had just finished school, had dreams of becoming an architect. However, his family’s destiny was already planned out for him. The Birkenstocks had been shoemakers for generations, and Carl was expected to join his father Konrad’s workshop in Friedberg, just north of Frankfurt. The family had moved there at the start of World War I, returning to Elisabeth’s hometown, Carl’s mother. Konrad specialized in metal-free orthopedic insoles and introduced a new type of insole called the “fussbett” or “foot bed,” which was revolutionizing the industry.
