H. Fuld & Co./TNH. Fuld & Co./TNFounded in Frankfurt in 1899 by Jewish entrepreneur Harry Fuld, H. Fuld & Co. pioneered the business of leasing and maintaining private in-house telephone networks in Germany, rapidly expanding into a dominant European telecommunications powerhouse by 1930. Following Fuld's death in 1932, the rapid rise of the Nazi regime shattered the enterprise; it was subjected to aggressive anti-Semitic boycotts (fomented by its competitor Siemens and Halske) and a hostile, state-sanctioned "Aryanization" seizure in the mid-1930s. The Nazis stripped Fuld's widow and sons of their ownership, forcing them to flee the country, scrubbed the founder's Jewish name and renamed it Telefonbau und Normalzeit (TN) in 1937. After World War II, the company underwent corporate restructuring as Telefonbau und Normalzeit Lehner & Co. and successfully rebuilt itself into one of West Germany's top 100 industrial enterprises. · German
