With a visit by Hamburg's First Mayor Tschentscher to the large construction site in the Bergedorf Innovation Park, Körber heralded the start of building construction work for the “Körber-Neubau Hamburg” on Thursday. Tschentscher, Bergedorf District Administrator Cornelia Schmidt-Hoffmann, and around 70 invited guests visited the site to get a first impression of the future headquarters of Körber's Business Area Technologies in the east of Hamburg.
Stephan Seifert, CEO and Chairman of the Group Executive Board of Körber, added: “At well over 200 million euros, the new Körber building in Hamburg is the largest single investment in Körber's history. This is a clear commitment to Germany as a business location, to Hamburg, and to our origins in Bergedorf, where the company founded by Kurt A. Körber in 1946 has its roots.” Seifert thanked Mayor Tschentscher, Head of the Senate Chancellery Jan Pörksen, and District Administrator Schmidt-Hoffmann: “Without your commitment and support, the new building at this important location for Körber would not have been possible.”
The new Körber building in Hamburg will bring together the previous locations of Körber Technologies GmbH on Kurt A. Körber Chaussee and Weidenbaumsweg in Hamburg-Bergedorf and in Schwarzenbek in Schleswig-Holstein to form the headquarters of the Business Area. The modern and sustainable complex is being built less than two kilometers away from the previous location in Bergedorf and comprises almost 50,000 square meters of building space, which will house administration, development, production, and logistics in accordance with the latest standards. With the new building, Körber is combining modern working environments, digital processes, and sustainable construction in one place.
