History

Josef Schörghuber, who runs his parents' carpentry and joinery workshop in Mitteraham near Mühldorf am Inn together with his brother Leo, joins the project development team at Bayerische Baukredit GmbH in Munich as a freelancer.

On 2 April, Josef Schörghuber registers Bavaria Hausbau GmbH in Munich's commercial register. A few months later, he changes the name to Bayerische Hausbau GmbH. It is under this name that the company will make building history.

This is the year that Bayerische Hausbau builds approximately 1,000 apartments as part of the Olympic Village in Munich.

Josef Schörghuber is the first project developer to receive building permission in what was once East Germany. The project involves the extensive renovation and expansion of the Paulaner Palais in Leipzig's Klostergasse.

Bayerische Hausbau builds the highly acclaimed MOM Park in Budapest. It is followed in 2004 by the Articom Center in Warsaw. The development of large-scale projects outside of Germany is nothing new for the company as it had already built residential and commercial buildings in Santiago de Chile in the 1990s.

Stefan Schörghuber dies on 25 November. Shortly before his death, he laid the foundation stone for the striking THE m.pire ensemble in Parkstadt Schwabing, which was completed in 2010. From 2008 on, his wife, Alexandra Schörghuber, has headed up the group of companies as chairwoman of the foundation board.

Following the large-scale revitalization of the Zoobogen ensemble – an international sensation known from this time on as BIKINI BERLIN – and completion of the Joseph Pschorr Haus in Munich's pedestrian zone, these two landmark properties neatly round off Bayerische Hausbau's portfolio.

At the heart of Munich, the commercial property at Marienplatz 22 shines with new luster. Marienplatz is also where, two years earlier, Bayerische Hausbau completely rebuilt Munich's second oldest restaurant, the Donisl.

In Hamburg, the company signs the urban development contract for the Paloma-Viertel in St. Pauli. This was preceded by an extensive public participation process that caused a stir and set a precedent nationwide.

The Development and Real Estate divisions are transformed into two independent companies, each with its own autonomous management team and carefully tailored growth strategy. The "Bayerische Hausbau" umbrella brand, as home to both companies, continues to enhance the visibility and positioning of the two companies on the market.

2024 is a very special year for the Schörghuber Group – firstly, Bayerische Hausbau, the nucleus of the group, celebrates its 70th anniversary. Secondly, for the first time since the death of Stefan Schörghuber in 2008, a member of the family that owns the company is once again at the helm: Florian Schörghuber.As co-CEO, he had already played a leading role in the transformation of the Group that he initiated in 2021. He expects openness, a willingness to change, confidence and, most importantly, the will to work together both from himself and from his colleagues in the Schörghuber Group, with the aim of achieving the stated objectives: focused, sustainable and profitable growth across all business divisions. This growth is not an end in itself but rather a prerequisite for remaining an independent and financially strong family-owned business.
