history

In 1914, today's Hirmer parent company was opened in Kaufingerstraße in Munich as a Munich branch of the men's outfitter Bamberger & Hertz Siegfried Bamberger (1885–1976) , which operates throughout Germany . Hans Hirmer (1897–1980) joined the Bamberger & Hertz store in Munich on October 15, 1915 and was promoted to head of purchasing for all six Bamberger & Hertz stores until 1933.

In 1938, against the background of anti-Jewish measures in the National Socialist state, Hans Hirmer took over the Munich business from owner Siegfried Bamberger and promised him that he would run the company on a fiduciary basis. In 1945, after the end of the war, Hans Hirmer offered Siegfried Bamberger the return of the company and joint management. Since Siegfried Bamberger did not want to return to Munich, the company Hirmer & Co. was jointly re-established with Hans Hirmer as the personally liable partner and Siegfried Bamberger as the majority partner. In 1951 the Hirmer family acquired the shares of the Bamberger family; the families are on friendly terms to this day.

In 1957 Hirmer got involved in commercial property development for a factory building for the Dorn shell factory in Giesing . Investments in commercial and residential properties in Munich and Regensburg followed. In 1962 the parent company was reopened after taking over the entire area at Kaufingerstraße 22; it had a central circular staircase and a passage on the first floor. In 1971, Hans Hirmer donated the extension of the Rümannstrasse retirement home ( Hans Hirmer House ) to the city of Munich .

In 1980 Max-Peter Hirmer and his brother Walter Hirmer took over the management of the Hirmer parent company from their great-uncle Hans Hirmer. From 1986 Gerhard Schütz built up the men's fashion chain Eckerle for business clothing with Max-Peter and Walter Hirmer . Twelve houses had opened in Germany by 2013. The first Hirmer oversize store was founded in Mannheim in 1995 . In 1989 an oversize department was added in the head office. In 2001, the Hirmer large sizes opened in Vienna as the first hotel outside Germany. An online shop was founded in 2009.

In 2014, the Hirmer Immobilien division built the Campo Bahia , the World Cup district for the German soccer world champions. In 2017 Hirmer Immobilien acquired the historic Hotel Elephant in Weimar . In 2018, nine hotel operating companies from Travel Charme Hotels & Resorts and the service company based in Berlin were added. In December 2019, the Hotel Bachmair am See was taken over as a heritable building right ; A careful renovation during ongoing operations between 2020 and 2023 with an expansion to 150 rooms is planned.
