The 90-year-old menswear brand was bought out of insolvency by L&T in 2024.

Overview

  • Wormland has entered insolvency proceedings for a second time, according to trade outlet Textilwirtschaft.
  • Attorney Stephan Michels of Michels-Anwälte has been appointed as the preliminary insolvency administrator.
  • The company’s registered seat was recently moved to Osnabrück after closing its former headquarters in Hanover under L&T’s ownership.
  • Reports differ on the retailer’s current footprint, with nine stores cited by Frankfurter Rundschau and twelve by t-online.
  • Coverage points to potential outcomes such as store rationalization or a search for new investors, set against persistent pressures on city-center retail from online shopping and weak consumer demand.
