Fuchs + Gans GmbH Event Catering

What Fuchs + Gans GmbH Event Catering does

Fuchs + Gans GmbH is a Berlin-based, family-owned event catering company operating in the premium segment of the German gastronomy market. Founded in 1998 by brothers Elmar and Gernot Karger, the company has accumulated 25+ years of upscale gastronomy experience and executes more than 200 events per year across the Berlin metropolitan area, spanning corporate, governmental, fashion, automotive, and private clients. Its operational footprint includes a city office at Alt-Moabit 129, a Food-Manufaktur production facility in Neukölln, and a retail concept, The Digital Eatery, at Unter den Linden 17.

The service portfolio centers on full-service event catering with two differentiated formats — the signature "Flying Menü" sequential multi-course concept and Live Cooking stations with on-site preparation — supported by in-house Food-Manufaktur production using fresh, regional, and organically sourced ingredients from the Berlin area. A flagship culinary collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Tim Raue anchors high-profile activations for brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Coca-Cola, and Zalando. The client roster spans automotive (Ferrari, Lamborghini, Formula E), technology (Microsoft Berlin), e-commerce (Zalando), government (Auswärtiges Amt, Hessische Landesvertretung), and entertainment (Red Bull Music Academy), with event scale ranging from intimate dinners to 20,000-guest Formula E public events at Tempelhof.

The business model relies on bespoke per-event service contracts with quote-based pricing tied to guest count, menu complexity, and service level. Distribution is direct, with leads generated through industry relationships, repeat clients, Instagram content marketing, and Berlin Event Network / Visit Berlin referrals. The company holds sustainability and diversity credentials (UN Global Compact, Charta der Vielfalt, Green Table) and operates exclusively within the Berlin metropolitan area with no evidence of geographic expansion.
