What Kfz-Innung München-Oberbayern does

Kfz-Innung München-Oberbayern is a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts (Public Law Corporation) and the official Handwerksinnung (craft guild) for the automotive trade in Munich and Upper Bavaria, Germany, operating under the supervision of the Handwerkskammer für München und Oberbayern. It is governed by Obermeister Johann Bader with two deputies (Michael Kölbl, Hans Maier) and a board of approximately 15 Vorstandsmitglieder, and staffed by a lean team of 7 employees.

The guild delivers vocational training through its Berufsbildungszentrum (BBZ), which operates training workshops in München, Dachau, and Garching. Core programs include the Kfz-Meister Ausbildung (Parts I–IV), journeyman examinations, and Hochvolt-Schulungen compliant with DGUV Information 209-093 for high-voltage EV work. It also administers official StVZO/AÜK accreditations (AU, AUK, GSP/GAP, PSP, SP), operates the Kfz-Schiedsstelle arbitration body and the Lehrlingsstreitigkeiten committee under §67 HwO, and provides free on-site Betriebsberatung and Gründungsberatung to members.

Revenue is derived from membership dues, training and certification fees, product sales (Meisterschilder, Feinstaubplaketten, branded workwear, Werbemittel, Pixi-Buch educational materials), and cooperation-partner programs, but no figures are publicly disclosed. Distribution is regional (Oberbayern), with services delivered via the headquarters at Gärtnerstraße 90 in München, the BBZ training centers, the workshop search portal ('Deutschlands Werkstatt-Suche Nr. 1'), newsletters (INNUNG aktuell, INNUNG kompakt), podcast, YouTube, and in-person events such as Meisterfeier, Gesellenfreisprechung, and the Oberbayerische Meister-Classic rally.

Direct peers

• Kfz-Innung Hessen: Regional Kfz-Innung serving the state of Hessen with the same statutory mandate around automotive-trade training, certification, and member advocacy — directly comparable in mandate and operating model.
• Kfz-Innung Berlin: Another regional Handwerksinnung for the automotive trade in Berlin with the same Körperschaft-des-öffentlichen-Rechts structure, offering vocational training, StVZO accreditations, arbitration, and member services.
• Kfz-Innung Niederbayern-Oberpfalz: Neighboring Bavarian Kfz-Innung with identical statutory mandate, training, accreditation, and member-service model — same legal structure and regulatory framework, different geographic territory.

Broad incumbents

• Zentralverband Deutsches Kraftfahrzeuggewerbe (ZDK): The national umbrella association for the German automotive trade, of which Kfz-Innungen are members. Operates the federal-level policy, training, and lobbying function while local Innungen like München-Oberbayern deliver regional services.
• DEKRA Automobil GmbH: One of Germany's largest vehicle inspection and certification organizations, directly overlapping with the regulatory testing ecosystem (HU/AU/SP) in which the guild accredits member workshops.
• TÜV SÜD Auto Service GmbH: Major technical inspection and certification body whose periodic vehicle inspections (HU/AU) overlap with the guild's StVZO-related accreditations, and which runs parallel training programs for technical inspectors and workshops.

Others

• Handwerkskammer für München und Oberbayern: The official supervisory chamber (Handwerkskammer) overseeing Kfz-Innung München-Oberbayern. Provides broader craft-trade services and is the parent regulatory body within the German dual vocational-training system.

Regional players

• Landesverband Bayerischer Kraftfahrzeuggewerbe: Bavarian state-level automotive trade association representing dealer and service-business interests — adjacent to but distinct from the Innung system, comparable as a regional industry body serving overlapping members.
