RSP GmbH

What RSP GmbH does

RSP GmbH is a Kirchstockach (near Munich)-based, privately held German restoration and monument preservation firm (Denkmalpflege) founded in 1997 by Hayo Ross and Michael Schmidt. The company delivers six integrated service lines: Denkmalpflege (architectural wood structures and painted/wood-visible furnishings), Restaurierung (investigation, conception, and restoration of painted and wood-visible objects), Fensterrestaurierung (historical windows including glazing, metalwork, and energy upgrades), Technisches Kulturgut (industrial monuments, vehicles, machinery), Dekontaminierung (remediation in contaminated areas under TRGS 519, BGR 128, and WTA standards for wood preservatives, asbestos, and PCBs), and Projektierung (condition assessment, mapping, documentation, and specialist project management). Project execution is supported by in-house workshops for restoration, glazing, carpentry, and surface finishing at the Kirchstockach headquarters.

The firm serves institutional clients including German and Bavarian government agencies (Regierung von Niederbayern, Bayerische Staatsoper, Glyptothek München, Schloss Herrenchiemsee, Deutsches Museum, Haus der Bayerischen Geschichte), UNESCO World Heritage sites (Zeche Zollverein), religious institutions (Wallfahrtskirche Maria Stern), private collectors, and corporate heritage programs (Mercedes-Benz Classic). Cross-border work has been delivered in Austria (Vienna Parliament, Schloss Eggenberg Graz). The business model is project-based professional services with individually quoted contracts on multi-year cadences, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct via tender participation, professional reputation, trade-show presence (denkmal Leipzig), and earned media in regional and national outlets.

Competitive positioning rests on certified qualifications (TRGS 519, BGR 128, TRGS 505; PQ VOB pre-qualification; ANKOE registry listing), a hybrid academic-plus-craft workforce, and a 25-year portfolio of nationally significant monument references. The firm maintains active memberships in Verband der Restauratoren (VDR), Restaurator im Handwerk (RiH), and the Fachakademie Handwerk in der Denkmalpflege, and operates a talent-pipeline internship with the Goering Institut e.V. The Bundespreis für Handwerk in der Denkmalpflege 2023 and the 45th Munich Facade Prize (2017) are the principal external validations of craft quality.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis Germany: Global design and consultancy firm with a dedicated heritage and adaptive-reuse practice; competes for restoration project planning and large-scale monument commissions but as part of a wider infrastructure and real-estate portfolio.
• Drees & Sommer SE: Large German engineering and project-management consultancy with a heritage and existing-buildings practice; competes for larger monument and public-sector projects but as part of a broader portfolio rather than specialized craft delivery.
• Ed. Züblin AG: Large German construction company with established heritage and existing-buildings renovation services; competes on nonresidential monument projects as part of a much broader construction portfolio.
• STRABAG AG: Major European construction group with restoration and heritage renovation capabilities integrated into its building-services portfolio; relevant for large public-monument tenders where RSP would be a specialty subcontractor.

Emerging players

• Carpus+Partner AG: Mid-sized German engineering and consulting firm with heritage and existing-buildings project experience; comparable to RSP on the Projektierung/project-planning side rather than craft execution.

Regional players

• Restaurierungswerkstätten der Bayerischen Schlösserverwaltung: In-house state restoration workshops for the Bavarian palaces administration; comparable to RSP on craft services for state-owned monuments in Bavaria but does not serve private or out-of-region clients.

Direct peers

• Holzbau Amann GmbH: Timber-construction and heritage-restoration firm in southern Germany combining modern carpentry with monument and historic-window work, serving an overlapping customer base of monument owners and public clients in the DACH region.
• Peter Warth GmbH: Historic building restoration firm in the Stuttgart region covering monument preservation, façade and wood restoration for public and private heritage clients, directly comparable to RSP in craft scope and customer type.
• Heinrich Wallbrecht GmbH & Co. KG: Long-established German historic-window and carpentry restoration specialist based in northern Germany, providing a closely comparable service mix to RSP (window restoration, monument carpentry, glazing) for institutional and ecclesiastical clients.
• Goldschmidt Denkmalpflege GmbH: German specialist in monument preservation and restoration of historic wooden and painted surfaces; overlaps with RSP on Denkmalpflege and Restaurierung services for churches, castles, and listed buildings.
