Mayerwittig

What Mayerwittig does

Mayerwittig is an architecture and urban planning firm headquartered in Cottbus, Germany, operating as a civil law partnership (GbR) under the legal name "mayerwittig Architektur · Stadtplanung GbR". Founded in 2002 by Stadtplanerin Isabel Mayer and Freier Architekt Uwe Wittig, both registered with the Architektenkammer Brandenburg, the firm provides integrated services across architectural design and urban planning. Its core offerings cover the full HOAI Leistungsphasen 1-9, including feasibility studies, binding development plans (Bebauungspläne), urban concepts, design competitions, and construction supervision, with specialisation in educational and social infrastructure (Kitas, schools, sports halls), residential construction, sustainable timber and energy-efficient building design, and heritage building renovation.

The firm serves a primarily public-sector client base, including municipalities such as Stadt Cottbus, Stadt Lübben, Stadt Herford, Stadt Wildau, and Landkreis Dahme-Spreewald, alongside housing cooperatives (eG Wohnen 1902, WoGe Finsterwalde e.G.), institutional clients (Humboldt Universität zu Berlin), commercial clients (REWE Markt GmbH), and non-profit organisations (AWO). New commissions are acquired through a sales-led go-to-market model centred on public competitive tenders (VgV-Verfahren), architectural and urban planning competitions, and direct client engagement. The marketing infrastructure is minimal and reputation-driven, with a portfolio website and an Instagram presence.

The business model is professional-services revenue from regulated fee structures (HOAI) and competition-derived commissions. The firm employs standard professional design tools and BIM-adjacent documentation practices for complex heritage projects, with no proprietary technology platforms or software products. Operationally, Mayerwittig has completed projects across multiple German states including Brandenburg, Berlin, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and North Rhine-Westphalia, often partnering with landscape architects, structural engineers, and DGNB auditors on a project-by-project basis. Notable achievements include DGNB Gold certification for the REWE-Markt Cottbus project and multiple 1st-place competition wins in school and urban development categories.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Hascher Jehle Architektur: Larger German architecture practice with significant public-sector work in education, sports, and cultural facilities. Competes for the same municipal and cooperative commissions but with broader geographic reach and deeper headcount.
• Staab Architekten: Berlin-based architecture firm with strong reputation in heritage renovation, cultural, and educational buildings. Comparable on the listed-monument and institutional projects (cf. Humboldt Gerichtsmedizin) but at significantly larger scale.
• gmp · Architekten: One of Germany's largest architecture practices, frequently winning large public tenders for cultural, educational, and urban projects. Sets the competitive benchmark Mayerwittig faces in VgV procedures at the upper end of project scale.

Direct peers

• ASTOC Architects and Planners: Mid-sized German firm explicitly offering architecture and urban planning under one roof, with public-sector competition focus and a portfolio spanning education, housing, and urban renewal. Most directly comparable integrated architecture + Stadtplanung peer.
• Dietrich | Untertrifaller Architekten: DACH-region architecture firm with comparable portfolio in educational buildings, residential, and sustainable construction. Slightly larger but similar competition-winning, sustainability-certified project profile.
• Brückner & Brückner Architekten: German architecture practice combining building design with urban planning and master planning, comparable in scale and integrated service model. Strong public-sector and competition-based project acquisition in Bavaria, paralleling Mayerwittig's Brandenburg focus.
• Hosoya Schaefer Architects: Architecture and urban design practice active in German-speaking markets on housing, education, and urban transformation projects. Comparable integrated architecture/planning service offering and competition-driven acquisition model.
• Werkstätten für Stadtplanung und Architektur: Small German practice combining architecture, urban planning, and Bauleitplanung for municipalities and housing developers. Closely matched in size, integrated service scope, and reliance on VgV and competition tenders.

Regional players

• Schelling Architekten: Stuttgart-based integrated architecture and urban planning firm working on educational, residential, and urban development projects. Similar integrated service profile and competition-led acquisition, but operating in Baden-Württemberg rather than eastern Germany.

Emerging players

• Kuehn Malvezzi Architekten: Berlin practice with focused portfolio in cultural, educational, and urban infill projects. Comparable on small-scale high-quality public commissions and competition participation; less overlap on housing cooperative work.
