In the first few years of BSH[1], its administration in Munich was spread out over several sites. Due to lack of space and the long distances between them, these were then brought together in 1978 at Hochstrasse 17 on the Munich Nockherberg, a part of the city steeped in tradition.[2]
BSH moved into its modern headquarters to the Neuperlach district of Munich in 2003, from where the company's global business has been managed ever since. Today, around 2,220 employees work here. The new company headquarters at Carl-Wery-Strasse 34 was the first building complex in Europe to be designed in line with the concept of Feng Shui, with the glass-covered corridors uniting the sections of the building harmoniously. "We now have a headquarters that is worthy of the world's third-largest home appliance manufacturer," said Chairman of the Board of Management Dr. Kurt-Ludwig Gutberlet in the inauguration speech.[3] In addition to offices, the headquarters also includes a cafeteria and a canteen. Thanks to its economic structure, Munich offers ideal conditions for the further development of BSH.
The cornerstone, weighing 700 kilograms, was laid just 28 months before the opening ceremony on July 18, 2001. Alongside the Mayor of Munich Christian Ude, the architect and the Board of Management, this ceremony was also attended by the Feng Shui advisor to the project. He explained, among other things, the basic principles of Feng Shui, some of which are already known in the West, and promised that the headquarters would bring the future employees "harmony and vitality."[4]
Back to the list of BSH sites in Germany.
