What Albert Fischer does

Albert Fischer GmbH is a German construction company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Elze, Lower Saxony. The company specializes in railway infrastructure construction, including platform construction (Bahnsteigbau), track construction (Gleisbau), city rail construction (Stadtbahnbau), bridge construction (Brückenbau), civil/structural engineering (Ingenieurbau), hydraulic engineering (Wasserbau), and deep foundation work (Tiefbau). Across the Albert Fischer Group it employs approximately 330 people and operates proprietary specialized equipment — two-way excavators (Zweiwege-Bagger), rail-mounted cranes, and dedicated construction vehicles — that enable trackside work in live rail environments.

The company serves public, private, and commercial clients across Germany. Its largest client segment is Deutsche Bahn, contracted through DB Netz AG and DB ProjektBau for railway modernization projects in regions including Hannover, Hamburg, and Lower Saxony. A secondary client base consists of numerous municipalities, counties, and state agencies (Staatliches Baumanagement Südniedersachsen, Region Hannover, Landeshauptstadt Hannover, Stadtentwässerung Hildesheim, Landkreis Osterode, Samtgemeinde Rodenberg) as well as private commercial customers such as HAWK Hildesheim and Obornik Werbetechnik. Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts awarded via public tenders and direct negotiation; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The firm is founder-controlled and family-owned, led by founder Albert Fischer, his son Peter Fischer, and additional managing director Andreas Tegtmeier, with no external institutional investment. It operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Albert Fischer Hausbau GmbH for residential construction and Albert Fischer Gewerbebau for commercial and industrial halls — extending the brand into adjacent construction verticals. Marketing is direct and tender-driven, supplemented by industry press coverage and award visibility, including recognition as a Großer Preis des Mittelstandes honoree and an EcoVadis Silver Medal recipient for sustainability.
