Großhandlung im Metzgerei-Bedarfsartikelen, a wholesale business in butcher's equipment, was situated at Luisenstraße 32 in Osnabrück.[1] The company was founded by Aäron van Pels, Hermann van Pels's father. The company was registered with the Industrie- und Handelskammer on 31 July 1922. It was favourably located in the proximity of the Osnabrück slaughterhouse. Due to the antisemitic measures taken by the National Socialist regime, the company was struck from the register on 19 September 1938.[2]

Hermann van Pels worked there from around 1932 until he emigrated to the Netherlands. He was the Verkaufer im Außendienst (sales representative) and it is estimated that he earned about 500 to 600 RM a month.[1] He worked fulltime [3] and travelled mainly to Oldenburg and Ostfriesland.[4]
