Company
WERNER WOHNBAU was founded in March 1993 by twin brothers Alexander and Michael Werner in Niedereschach. Their vision: good housing must be affordable. This gave rise to the idea of applying the efficient processes, well-thought-out planning and reliably high quality of the automotive industry to house building. Yet from the very beginning, it was about more than just building houses – the focus was on people and the aspiration to create a home for them. This idea still shapes WERNER WOHNBAU today.
What began back then with a handful of employees has grown over the years into a supra-regional property developer with around 130 employees at six locations in Germany. As the company has grown, so has its range of services:
Today, WERNER WOHNBAU builds terraced and semi-detached houses as well as modern owner-occupied apartments in multi-storey residential buildings – in attractive locations and for a wide range of housing needs
Our actions are guided by ESG criteria: environmental, social and responsible corporate governance are inseparable for us. We do not tolerate corruption or bribery.
We foster a family-like sense of community – in our dealings with our employees, partners and customers. Openness, transparency and mutual respect are integral parts of our corporate philosophy.
We are committed where our efforts can make a difference – directly on site and beyond our region. We support associations and social institutions, organise fundraising campaigns and specifically promote selected projects. These include regional initiatives such as the Feldner Mill in Villingen as well as international projects, for example supporting a coffee farmers’ cooperative in Indonesia.
We focus on sustainable solutions that protect the environment and resources and continuously reduce our ecological footprint. These include photovoltaic systems, air-to-water heat pumps, wood pellet systems and green roofs. This is how we create contemporary living space while keeping an eye on the future.
Everything from a single source.
Our customers should never have to choose between quality, meeting deadlines, and a fair price. That is why we bundle all phases of service in-house – from land acquisition and project development to construction management and property management. Thanks to long-standing partnerships with certified trades companies and automated processes, we guarantee smooth implementation – for every project, at every location.
Over the Years
The company was founded in March. The vision of the two entrepreneurs Alexander and Michael Werner was to create affordable housing modelled on the automotive industry.
The renovation of listed buildings is added as a new business area, expanding the existing range of services.
With the construction of terraced and semi-detached houses, WERNER WOHNBAU expands its core business and lays the foundation for the company's further development.
The eight employees move into the newly built office building in Niedereschach. With room for a total of 40 employees, it offers plenty of space for further growth.
With the new location in Hamburg, WERNER WOHNBAU expands its area of operations. Having previously been active mainly in the southern half of Germany, the company now enters the northern German market for the first time.
Multi-storey residential construction is added as a third business area. This specifically broadens the range of services and responds to the growing demand for mixed housing concepts that combine terraced and semi-detached houses with apartments in metropolitan areas.
WERNER WOHNBAU employs 90 staff.
For the first time, the 300 sold housing unit mark is reached. Buyers are mainly young couples and families.
With the locations in Frankfurt and Wülfrath, the company further expands its presence and strengthens its proximity to customers. At the same time, planning begins for the new company building in Niedereschach.
WERNER WOHNBAU begins construction of the new company building at its headquarters in Niedereschach. Further locations are opened in Leipzig, Nuremberg and Essen.
Around 70 employees move into the new company building at the headquarters in Niedereschach. Modern workplaces and spacious premises create a pleasant working environment and offer room for further growth.
WERNER WOHNBAU grows to six locations and around 120 employees. The next steps planned are a further location in Walldorf and a dedicated office building for the Hamburg team.
Demographic change is transforming the housing market – and calls for an active response here, too. Care and senior living properties form a new business area that enables older people to live independently and with dignity.
With owner-occupied homes as an investment, a new offering is created for private and institutional investors. It combines profitability and long-term value retention with sustainable construction, modern energy concepts and attractive living space.
For the first time, WERNER WOHNBAU's total revenue exceeds the 200 million euro mark.
Three decades after the company was founded, Alexander and Michael Werner look back on a successful corporate history – marked by steady growth, new business areas and many important milestones.
WERNER WOHNBAU is represented at six locations in Germany and builds turnkey terraced, semi-detached and multi-family houses. From land acquisition and development to construction management, projects are handled according to the "everything from a single source" principle.
