History
Former headquarters of Neckermann Versand AG from 1953 to 1960 in Danziger Platz

Neckermann Versand AG was founded on April 1, 1950 by Josef Neckermann.

In 1978, Neckermann tried to gain a foothold in the gaming industry by releasing the Tele-Cassetten Game under their technology and multimedia home brand Palladium. From 1995, the company operated its own online shop at neckermann.de, through which almost 80 percent of sales were processed. The range consisted of over 700,000 articles from fashion, household, toy and technology segments. Since October 8, 2010, Neckermann is 100 percent owned by Sun Capital Partners.

On July 18, 2012, Neckermann.de GmbH and its subsidiary Neckermann Logistik GmbH filed for bankruptcy proceedings at the Amtsgericht Frankfurt am Main.[1][2] The bankruptcy proceedings were officially opened on October 1, 2012.[3] Since February 4, 2013, Otto Group maintains an online mail order company at neckermann.de.

gollark: Well. And the other reasons.
gollark: *I* got IP-banned temporarily in confusing circumstances involving my hatchery. This is why I do not like TJ09.
