Neumann & Heinsdorff

What Neumann & Heinsdorff does

Neumann & Heinsdorff Architekten Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB is a German architecture firm established in 2008 by founding partners Prof. Thomas Neumann and Marko Heinsdorff, both RWTH Aachen-trained architects. The firm offers comprehensive architectural design services across residential, educational, cultural, civic, and commercial building types, with a documented specialization in sustainable timber construction (Holzbau), modular prefabrication, and adaptive reuse of heritage-listed structures. Its portfolio spans student housing, kindergartens, schools, community centers, parish buildings, town halls, and subsidized housing, concentrated geographically in Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia.

The firm operates from two offices — Munich (headquarters at Donnersbergerstraße 24) and Cologne (relocated in May 2021 to Rolandstraße 88) — with a team of approximately nine people (two partners plus seven staff). Revenue is generated through professional architectural services priced under the German HOAI fee structure, calculated as a percentage of construction costs. Project acquisition is sales-led and driven primarily by participation in open and invited architectural competitions, supplemented by direct commissioning from existing public and private clients.

Recent landmark projects include the Internationales Gästehaus Regensburg (a 50-apartment student housing conversion of a listed building completed December 2024 and awarded Bauen im Bestand 2025), the Melanchthonheim Regensburg modular timber student housing project under construction with occupancy targeted for 2027, and the Audikreisel Ingolstadt mixed-use development approved in mid-2026. The firm has received recognition from Bayerische Architektenkammer, the Bund Deutscher Architekten (BDA), and competitionline (national rank 12 in 2016), with projects featured in DETAIL, db Deutsche Bauzeitung, and Bauwelt. Prof. Thomas Neumann's appointment to a professorship at Hochschule München in 2020 reinforces the firm's academic standing and recruitment pipeline.
