To the history of Schering AG Berlin:

In 1933 Schering aquired the Company Ludwig Mayer/Mainz in Mainz am Rhein, Germany. It produced chemicals, mostly for agriculture. The Jewish owner Ludwig Mayer, already retreated to Paris sold with the condition that all employees who wanted to relocate to Berlin had to be taken over by Schering with the result that almost 100 employees went to Berlin in 1933. This included several Chemists, incl. a Dr. Wolff, who was mainly responsible for the development of the first Birth control pill. The important department of Schering " Pflanzenschutz " with the logo of two hands cradling an ear of wheat which developed the first artificial fertilizers, crop preservers ( potatoes ) was manned mostly by the former employees of Mayer/Mainz. If the Jewish owner would not have insisted that Schering take over the employees, who knows what would have happened.
