SEEBERGER FRIEDL PLANUNGSGESELLSCHAFT

What SEEBERGER FRIEDL PLANUNGSGESELLSCHAFT does

Seeberger Friedl Planungsgesellschaft mbH (operating as SFP Ingenieure) is a German engineering firm specializing in Tragwerksplanung — load-bearing structure planning for buildings — founded in 1970 in Munich by Hermann Seeberger and Ernst Friedl. The firm operates from three offices across Bavaria (Munich as headquarters since 1970, Pfarrkirchen since 1981, and Erlangen since 1997) and employs 37 staff, comprising 4 executives, 20 engineers, 10 designers, and 3 apprentices. Its service portfolio covers the full HOAI (Honorarordnung für Architekten und Ingenieure) performance spectrum across concrete, steel, timber, hybrid, and composite construction, with additional specialties in foundation engineering, heritage renovation, and prefabricated systems.

The firm's commercial model is project-based professional services billed under the regulated HOAI fee structure, with multi-year contracts and competitive-bidding engagement for public-sector work. Its customer base is heavily concentrated in Bavarian public-sector clients — federal, state, and municipal governments, Catholic Church organizations, and educational institutions — evidenced by signature projects including a €105M correctional facility in Augsburg-Gablingen, a €48M gymnasium in Garching, and a €30M parish church in Leipzig that won the Architekturpreis der Stadt Leipzig 2015 and World Architecture Festival 2016 "Religious Building of the Year." Distribution is direct enterprise engagement with architects and public authorities; no digital marketing or channel partners are evident.

Since 2014 the firm has operated as a GmbH, and in 2015 ownership transferred from the founding partners to RPB Rückert GmbH, a Heilbronn-based holding company. The 2018 departure of the original founders left six managing directors in place: Alexander Diewald, Wolfgang Finger, Frank Heimes, Sven Linkhorst, Gerhard Rückert, and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Klaus Rückert. Several hold the regulated Beratender Ingenieur and Nachweisberechtigung Standsicherheit credentials from the Bayerische Ingenieurekammer-Bau, which constitute a meaningful regulatory barrier to entry in this market.

• Werner Sobek Group: Stuttgart-based structural engineering firm known for sustainable construction and innovative structural systems. Comparable: structural engineering focus, sustainability/timber specialization, work on award-winning institutional and cultural buildings, German Mittelstand origins.
• Boll und Partner Beratende Ingenieure: Stuttgart-based structural engineering firm providing HOAI-compliant Tragwerksplanung services. Comparable: German mid-market structural engineering firm, HOAI fee model, public and institutional building focus, multi-material expertise.
• Bollinger + Grohmann Ingenieure: Frankfurt-based structural engineering consultancy working on complex building projects across Germany and Europe. Directly comparable: structural design focus, multi-material expertise (concrete/steel/timber), award-winning cultural and institutional projects, and HOAI-fee service model.

Broad incumbents

• Arup Group: Global engineering consultancy with significant presence in Germany's high-end institutional and cultural building sector. Comparable at a category level: structural engineering for complex public/cultural buildings, but operates at much larger scale with international footprint.
• WSP in Deutschland: Global engineering consultancy with German operations competing on larger public infrastructure and building projects. Comparable as an engineering services competitor in the German market, though at significantly larger scale and broader service portfolio than SFP.
• RPB Rückert GmbH: Parent holding company of SFP since 2015, based in Heilbronn. Relevant because it is the controlling owner and groups multiple engineering entities, providing strategic and capital context for SFP's positioning within a broader German engineering platform.
