What Kortemeier Brokmann Landschaftsarchitekten does

Kortemeier Brokmann Landschaftsarchitekten (legal entity: Kortemeier Brokmann GmbH) is a German professional-services firm specializing in landscape architecture and environmental planning, headquartered in Herford with a secondary office in Osnabr\u00fcck. Founded in 1947 and led by four managing directors (Bastian Brokmann, Martina Gaebler, Michael Kasper, Nils Kortemeier), the firm operates across three competence areas: Landscape and Environment (nature conservation, regional planning, wind energy, transport routes, environmental construction supervision), City and Open Space (urban design, parks, healthcare and education facilities, cemeteries, residential gardens, competitions), and Soil and Water (extraction planning, landfill planning, raw materials). The service offering spans the full spectrum from large-scale concept studies to on-site construction supervision, delivered by an in-house interdisciplinary team of open-space and environmental planners.

The firm serves a horizontally diversified client base including municipalities and public authorities (e.g., City of Osnabr\u00fcck, City of Enger), healthcare providers (Johannes Wesling Klinikum, Hochtaunusklinik), large corporate and manufacturing clients (Sch\u00fcco International, Stiebel Eltron, Phoenix Contact), private residential clients, and raw-materials operators (H. Eggersmann, Weserkieswerk, Stork). Notable portfolio achievements include the landscape design for Sch\u00fcco ONE in Bielefeld (the first building worldwide to receive LEED, BREEAM, and DGNB certifications) and the Stiebel Eltron Energy Campus (DGNB Platinum).

The business model is professional-services based: fees are governed by HOAI (Honorarordnung f\u00fcr Architekten und Ingenieure) and project-based. Go-to-market relies on competitive bidding (Wettbewerbe) for public-sector commissions, direct enterprise engagements for corporate campuses, and individual commissions for private residential gardens. The firm is PQ-VOL prequalified for public procurement in Germany and holds professional liability insurance with Europe-wide coverage, registered in both Architektenkammer NRW and Architektenkammer Niedersachsen. No AI/ML or proprietary software platform is part of the offering; delivery is human-led and judgment-driven.
