The company named after the company's founder Rudolf Hussel was founded in 1949 in Hagen, Westphalia . At the end of 1951, Hussel was already running ten confectionery shops. The number of branches rose to one hundred by 1957. During this time , the company's orientation was changed from mass-produced goods to high-quality products. In 1962 the company was converted into an AG and Herbert Eklöh , a friend of Hussel's, took over 95% of the shares. When he sold some of the shares on at a large profit a short time later, he broke up with Hussel, who then left the company. At the beginning of the 1980s, Hussel operated 229 branches in West Germany, thirty of them in Berlin alone . Until the end of 1989, Hussel gave the Douglas Holding its name .
