GOLLWITZER® family
GOLLWITZER Family – that’s the second and third generations to work in civil engineering and special foundation engineering. The great affinity for mechanical and process engineering has led to a high level of expertise in the management and among the employees. This expertise, coupled with idealism and an openness to change, is the perfect basis for developing or adapting construction processes and systems in line with sustainable corporate policy and the socio-political goals of climate and environmental protection.
Sustainable construction has always driven the long-established company GOLLWITZER, but the signs of the times demand a new urgency for the specialist foundation engineers from the Upper Palatinate in Germany to act consistently. „We don’t want to be driven by others, we want to actively shape and drive forward new construction processes.“ And this requires new approaches and developments.
„As a family business, we think long-term and are not profit-driven. Thanks to our lean organization, we can initiate processes and make decisions more quickly. We are united by one goal: we want to do our part to ensure that future generations can build, too. Environmentally conscious, climate-friendly and sustainable construction. Special foundation engineering ― suitable for our grandchildren.“
Vision - Mission - Values
Company values
The success of our family business and our good, secure jobs are based on a clear foundation of values. This is our conviction and it is what we stand for as an entrepreneurial family. Why? Because what counts for us is not fast business at any price, but people and their needs.
We draw our strength from the special way in which we approach things at Gollwitzer’s and which determines our behaviour towards each other and towards our customers and partners. This strength empowers us in the market. We know where we want to go ― our vision. And we know how to get there ― our mission.

Family values
Values have made us what we are today. Successful. We have used the year 2021 to gather and record what guides us. What are the things that we already take for granted and that we want to continue to grow in the future? The Gollwitzer values, presented by our „values ambassadors“:
We are family
We are a one hundred percent family business. This fact has always characterized our corporate culture and will continue to form the solid basis for further development in the future. Our success is largely based on our values as a family-run company: reliability, trust and a strong sense of unity are a matter of course for us and this gives the company and its employees stability.
We show appreciation
Listening, understanding, acting: this is our understanding of successful cooperation, both in collaboration with our customers and business partners, as well as in our teams. For we can only reach our goals if we work together. In all this, open, fair communication is what we rely on. Every opinion is welcome. We always regard constructive criticism as an opportunity to become even better.

We enjoy our cooperation
We enjoy our work, and we are passionate about it ― and we radiate that. We approach our tasks with drive and vigor. Because we at Gollwitzer’s are strong when we trust each other, when we all join forces and enjoy working together and achieving our goals.
We live loyalty
Loyalty is the glue that holds our company together. We act transparently and adhere to agreements made. Sincerity and honest, fair cooperation are the basis for living mutual loyalty. In all of this, we set a good example at all times ― acting in the ways we expect our colleagues and customers to act in every respect.
Andrea Gollwitzer
We are open to change
We are boldly breaking new ground and we are open to change. We develop new solutions for our markets of today and tomorrow. Our success is based on our constant drive for improvement and our ability to think outside the box when it comes to future trends. That is why we encourage the rapid implementation of innovations and value commitment, courage, and creativity.
