Deichmann as an employer
It all began in the working district of Essen-Borbeck in the heart of the Ruhr region. Heinrich Deichmann, born in 1888, opened a shoemaker’s shop which he ran together with his wife Julie. Two generations later and almost 100 years later, the company has become the market leader in Europe. Deichmann is now represented in 31 countries with around 4,600 shops and employs over 48,000 people. Deichmann is still a family business that attaches great importance to organic growth. Going public and bank loans are not an issue for the owners.
As an independent family business and Europe’s largest shoe retailer, we can look back on a success story spanning more than 100 years. Our values and our corporate culture form the basis for this success. Our actions follow our overarching corporate goal:
„The company must serve the people.“ This refers to our customers, employees, suppliers and people in need.
Based on our corporate mission statement, we have also developed guidelines for management and cooperation at Deichmann. These „rules of the game“ complement and concretise our values and our culture for everyday life in the company. Of course, our corporate mission statement can also be found on paper. But first and foremost it has to be lived. This is noticeable every day in our company and is confirmed to us regularly, especially by our new employees. The often long tenures of our employees reflect this.
Here you can make a difference!

Regardless of your school leaving certificate, you can go far at Deichmann with the necessary commitment.
The Deichmann family derives a special obligation towards people in need from the company’s experience and success and from its Christian convictions, and has also anchored this in its corporate mission statement. Entrepreneurial success should make help for people in need possible. Over the decades, many initiatives have been supported in this way or even founded. Today, aid is essentially divided into three areas:
