Delka ( own spelling DELKA ) is an Austrian shoe retail company based in Vienna (until 2011 in Graz ). There are currently 33 branches in Vienna, Lower Austria , Styria , Burgenland , Upper Austria and, since 2017, also in Tyrol.
The company was founded in 1907 by Doris Elisabeth Klausner with a branch. The company name (company) is derived from the first letters of their first and last names and was previously written Del-Ka . By the First World War, the company, which was converted into a stock corporation in 1922 , already had seven branches with its headquarters in Vienna.
The company, which was considered to be Jewish, was appointed a temporary administrator in the person of the director of Aeterna Schuhfabrik AG and NSDAP member Josef Ziegler the morning after the German troops marched into Austria.
In the post-war period, the branch network was greatly expanded and the company also invested in foreign companies. In 1957 the branch network was already 63 stores. From 1975 to 1978 the German Bahner Group ("HAKO") joined as the majority shareholder. In 1978 the Stiefelkönig company bought all of the company's shares. The headquarters were moved from Vienna to Graz in 1989. In 2001 the two companies merged, but Delka remained an independent sales division of the group. In 2003, Delka and the entire Stiefelkönig Group became the property of BAWAG .
In 2011 the Bawag parted with its shares; The new owner was Salamander Austria GmbH , which with its 35 branches is the market leader in the high-quality branded shoe segment.
The concept has been further developed since the takeover by Salamander.
