Erich Köhler

What Erich Köhler does

Erich Köhler GmbH is a family-owned German interior construction company headquartered at Friesstraße 27, 60388 Frankfurt am Main, founded in 1969 by Erich Köhler in Flörsbachtal and relocated to Frankfurt in 1984. The company operates as a general contractor (Generalunternehmer) delivering turnkey interior fit-out services for commercial and corporate clients across the Rhine-Main region, with primary verticals in office buildings, retail spaces, healthcare facilities, and banks. Notable reference projects include the Global Tower Frankfurt (17,000 m² across 20 floors, €9.5M contract value) and Skylight Frankfurt (5,920 m² across 6 floors, €12M contract value), alongside banking-district fit-outs at Skyper, Neue Mainzer Straße, and Sparkasse Gelnhausen.

The service portfolio covers the full interior fit-out stack under a single point of contact: drywall construction and acoustic systems, flooring, painting and wallcovering, sanitary installations, doors and glass elements, electrical work, and kitchen and canteen fit-out. Project management, planning, and coordination of all trades are delivered from a single source, supported by the company's own equipment and machinery pool and qualified teams certified under DGNB and LEED sustainable-building standards. The company participates in the Armstrong ceiling recycling program since 1999.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven contracts with fixed costs and timelines tied to milestones; no standardized pricing or subscription model exists. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting construction managers, architects, property owners, and corporate facilities teams in the Rhine-Main region. The firm is led by managing directors Dirk Köhler (second generation, since 1993) and Max Köhler (third generation, since 2011), with Linda Volpert heading HR, and is independently owned with no external investors or parent company.
