   What did Karl Albrecht think about the Aldi cult?

   • And even when Aldi made the leap from retailer to cult, the Albrechts remained modest to the end. “Wealth means little to me,” said Karl Albrecht before his death, “unlike the freedom and independence that wealth brings with it.” Germany’s richest man believed in mass on Sunday, midday naps and swam daily.

   Where did the Albrecht brothers live?

   • The Albrecht brothers lived near each other in Essen and, until Theo’s death four years ago, had lunch together on Sundays after mass in the district of Bredeney. Though one of Essen’s most salubrious neighbourhoods, walking down its main street is like a 1980s West German time-warp populated by an army of beige-clad pensioners.

   Why did the Albrecht brothers create the Aldi equator?

   • By cutting out all unnecessary costs, and passing the savings on to customers, the Albrecht brothers hit the jackpot by tapping into the cost-conscious German psyche. Their firm kept growing but in 1960, to keep things manageable, they drew the "Aldi equator" horizontally across the map of Germany.
