Bauwerke Münster GmbH is a 100 percent subsidiary of the City of Münster, which focuses as a specialized service provider on the development, planning and realization of urban building projects[1][2]. The company acts as a strategic partner of the City of Münster and contributes to the strengthening and further development of the urban infrastructure through its work.
The company builds in municipal property and thus systematically increases the performance of the City of Münster[2]. Bauwerke Münster GmbH takes over all aspects of the construction process - from conceptual development to detailed planning to the practical realization of urban building projects.
A particular focus is on modern school construction[2]. This is due to strategic developments in Münster: The city is experiencing increasing student numbers, which is why the school construction sector requires considerable investment. Münster currently has around 100 schools, spread across all types of schools[2].
Several factors influence future school construction planning: From 2026, the legal entitlement to all-day care in primary school will be introduced gradually, which will bring with it new space programs and changed requirements for the infrastructure[2]. In addition, the switch from G8 to G9 affects the space requirements, and the increasing demands on lunch require appropriately equipped school buildings[2].
The core goal of Bauwerke Münster GmbH is to ensure excellent school education in the City of Münster through contemporary and needs-based school buildings[2]. The company sees itself as an enabler for urban performance and sustainability.
The management is headed by Andrea Piehl, Dipl.-Ing. Architect[2]. The company is supervised by a supervisory board, chaired by Jörg Berens[2]. This governance structure ensures professional competence and urban control.
As a subsidiary of the City of Münster, Bauwerke Münster GmbH does not primarily operate for profit, but to promote the common good. The company contributes to ensuring that urban building projects are implemented efficiently, professionally and purposefully, enabling the City of Münster to actively shape its long-term development. The focus on school construction underlines the priority importance of educational infrastructure for the sustainability of Münster society.
