Lechner Massivhaus GmbH

What Lechner Massivhaus GmbH does

Lechner Massivhaus GmbH is a privately held, fifth-generation family-owned German homebuilder specializing in prefabricated, solid (massiv) turnkey single-family houses delivered at a fixed price. Founded in 1904 in Uehlfeld, Bavaria, the company today operates as part of the LECHNER GROUP alongside sister manufacturer H+L Baustoff Werke, and runs two co-located production sites in Glauchau (Saxony) and Uehlfeld (Bavaria), with a third automated Fertigteilwerk (FTW Bayreuth) opened in August 2024. The company's technical core is its proprietary wall systems: klimaPOR® (expanded clay / Blähton), klimaVER® (recycled expanded glass), and DuplexTherm (dense-structure expanded clay), which deliver GEG and KfW 40 energy compliance without external insulation and enable a documented 4-day raw construction assembly on site. House types span the FamilyHaus (FH 135/152/170), Bauhaus, and Stadtvilla series, sold as turnkey properties with optional self-completion packages and add-ons such as the Klimadecke radiant heating/cooling ceiling.

The business model is direct-to-customer B2C home sales at fixed prices (EUR 275,000 to EUR 500,000+) under a 9-month price guarantee, distributed through a network of 10 model homes and sales offices across Germany and supported by independent commercial agents (selbstständige Handelsvertreter) operating in assigned territories. Customers are primarily German families and individuals seeking individually planned, energy-efficient homes, with a secondary investor segment for duplex and multi-family builds. Marketing combines physical model-home experiences, Bauherrentage (homeowner days) at factories, regional trade-show participation (Immobilienmesse Franken, meinZuhause Nürnberg, etc.), construction-site tours, and digital content via website and Instagram. More than 5,000 individually planned homes have been delivered to date. The company is led by managing directors Bernd Lechner and his sons Sebastian and Tobias Lechner, holds TÜV Süd Baucontrolling certification and EPD environmental declarations, and most recently won 1st place in the Massivhausbau category at the ntv Live and Living Award 2026.

Core offering

Lechner Massivhaus GmbH designs, manufactures, and delivers individually planned prefabricated solid (massive) houses turnkey at a fixed price to private customers across Germany. The company produces its own wall and ceiling elements (klimaPOR expanded clay, klimaVER recycled glass, DuplexTherm, Klimadecke) in factories in Bavaria and Saxony, assembles them on the customer's foundation in approximately four days, and delivers a fully finished home including optional basement construction. Houses are offered as single-family homes, bungalows, duplexes, and multi-family buildings across the FamilyHaus, Bauhaus, and Stadtvilla series, with optional customization packages for self-completion or turnkey finishes.

Product overview

Lechner Massivhaus GmbH is a fifth-generation family-owned construction company specializing in prefabricated solid houses delivered turnkey at a fixed price. The company operates two manufacturing facilities in Bavaria and Saxony (Uehlfeld and Glauchau) producing wall and ceiling elements. The core product portfolio consists of three distinct wall systems: klimaPOR® (traditional expanded clay walls), klimaVER® (innovative recycled glass walls), and DuplexTherm (efficiency wall for KfW 40 standard). These wall systems serve as the foundation for the company's modular house series including FamilyHaus (FH 135, FH 152, FH 170), Bauhaus series, and Stadtvilla series, available as single-family homes, bungalows, duplexes, and multi-family buildings. The company also offers the Klimadecke (climate ceiling) as an optional heating/cooling system and various special parts including balconies and stairs. All houses are delivered as schlüsselfertig (turnkey) with fixed price guarantee.
