Landmarken AG is a German real estate developer, investor, and property manager with nearly 40 years of experience in the industry. Founded in the 1980s, the company has its roots in Aachen but maintains significant operations in Hamburg, where it focuses on sustainable urban development and neighborhood creation.
The company has built its reputation on creating residential and mixed-use developments that emphasize social responsibility and identity-building living spaces. In Hamburg, Landmarken is particularly active in HafenCity, the city's ambitious waterfront redevelopment district. One prominent example is the Moringa project at Baakenhafen, Germany's first high-rise residential building designed according to cradle-to-cradle principles. This development reflects the company's commitment to ecological construction and sustainable building practices.
Led by CEO Jens Kreiterling, Landmarken employs between 51 and 200 people and works across various real estate sectors, including residential buildings, offices, and special-purpose properties. The company also specializes in preserving and repurposing historic buildings, integrating them into modern urban landscapes while maintaining their architectural heritage.
In 2023, Landmarken received the Best Brand award at the German Real Estate Awards, recognized for its clear mission, authentic values, and transparent communication across multiple stakeholder groups. More recently, the company expanded its reach by partnering with ehret+klein to establish German Development Partners, a joint venture offering nationwide development services. While ehret+klein focuses on southern Germany and Berlin, Landmarken primarily operates in western Germany and Hamburg, together providing comprehensive coverage across the country.
