What Lechner does

Lechner GmbH is a Stuttgart-based property management company (Hausverwaltung) specializing in the administration of residential owner communities (WEG-Verwaltung). Founded in 1970, the firm serves property owners across seven cities in the Stuttgart metropolitan area, including Stuttgart, Fellbach, Waiblingen, Winnenden, Backnang, Schorndorf, and Rudersberg. The company manages a portfolio of WEGs ranging from small associations of five units to larger communities of up to 167 units, with disclosed client relationships spanning several decades.

The company's core product is WEG administration, encompassing financial management, technical facility oversight, and owner-meeting coordination. Underlying technology includes a proprietary Lechner mobile app, digital document management, online owner meetings (digitale Eigentümerversammlungen), and digital bookkeeping (digitale Belegverwaltung). Customer-facing workflows run on the idwell.com portal with intelligent ticket management, while the public website is built on Elementor and hosted via Cloudflare, with Matomo analytics and Calendly scheduling. The firm is IHK-certified and operates as a recognized IHK Ausbildungsbetrieb, and the public site meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility and GDPR requirements.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring per-unit management fees charged to WEGs, a typical German property-management pricing model. The business is privately held as a GmbH under managing directors Daniel Schön and Monica-Ramona Rata, with a team sized in the 11-50 range. The customer base is diversified across many small and mid-sized residential associations within a single regional market, and the firm carries a 4.8/5.0 customer rating on Google across 17 reviews. No external funding, acquisition activity, or AI/ML capability was disclosed in the available data.
