What Friedrich Schütt + Sohn Baugesellschaft mbH & Co KG does

Friedrich Schütt + Sohn Baugesellschaft mbH & Co. KG is a family-owned German construction and real estate group (Firmengruppe Schütt) headquartered in Lübeck and founded on 1 May 1950 by master mason Friedrich Schütt. The group operates across the entire property value chain through vertically integrated subsidiaries: a Kieswerk (aggregate quarry in Kreuzkamp, Ratekau, in operation since 1963), a Betonwerk (ready-mix concrete plant producing all strength and exposure classes), a Fertigteilwerk (precast concrete plant manufacturing bespoke elements up to 20 tonnes with CE marking and external quality monitoring by Güteschutz Beton-/Fertigteilwerke Nord), an in-house carpentry workshop for custom formwork, and an internal concrete testing laboratory (Betonprüfstelle). Construction services span Rohbau (rough construction), Schlüsselfertig (turnkey delivery on fixed-price contracts), specialty Strahlenschutzbau (radiation shielding construction with TÜV inspection), and Nachhaltiges Bauen (DGNB-certified sustainable building).

The business is a private Kommanditgesellschaft under German law (no public disclosure obligation) serving enterprise and institutional clients across Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Revenue is generated through five streams: fixed-price general-contracting construction for residential, commercial, and industrial projects; project-based real estate development executed through joint-venture project companies; product sales of custom precast concrete elements and ready-mix concrete to third parties; aggregate retail sales at the Kreuzkamp plant; and recurring rental income from a managed portfolio of approximately 1,000 residential and commercial units in Lübeck, Wismar, Reinfeld, and Ahrensburg. Customers include housing cooperatives (SAGA WG Hamburg, Lübecker Bauverein eG, WG Warnow, WOBAU Ostholstein), healthcare operators (H.I.S. GmbH for the CyberKnife radiation clinic in Güstrow, EUROIMMUN in Dassow, senior care foundations), commercial developers (Hamburg Team, Grundstücks-Gesellschaft TRAVE), industrial tenants (Dräger, Coherent), and public-sector clients.

The group employs approximately 250 staff and is led by managing partner Jan-Friedrich Schütt alongside managing directors Frank Schröder, Oliver Schuldt, and Marc Dreyer. Key active projects include the ~€300M Geniner Ufer quarter (~600 apartments in joint venture with Jacob Sönnichsen AG, construction launched January 2026) and the ~€27M Wohnen am Falkendamm II (28 owner-occupied apartments with Lübecker Bauverein eG). Recognitions include the national Ausbildungs-Ass 2020 vocational training award and the first DGNB Silver-certified residential building in Lübeck (Schützenhof 16-18, 2013). In 2025, third-generation family members Jan-Hendrik and Bjarne Schütt joined the group.
