Schoeps und Schlüter Architekten GmbH

What Schoeps und Schlüter Architekten GmbH does

Schoeps und Schlüter Architekten GmbH is a privately held German architecture firm headquartered at Salzmannstraße 64 in Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia, operating since approximately 1994. The firm is led by four managing directors (Geschäftsführer:innen) supported by a team of 25 architects, civil engineers, interior architects, and technicians — roughly 29 professionals in total. It provides full-service architectural design and construction management, spanning from initial concept (Entwurf) through to completion (Fertigstellung), with specialization in renovation, conversion, and adaptive reuse of historic and listed (denkmalgeschützt) buildings.

The firm's client base is concentrated in the German public sector: municipal governments (including the City of Dortmund for Rathaus Dortmund core renovation and the City of Münster for Stadthaus 1), Catholic dioceses (Bistum Aachen for church-to-archive conversion; Bistum Münster for a new central depot in Senden), and educational institutions (Schule Overbeckstraße Köln). Project types include civic buildings, ecclesiastical structures, schools, industrial buildings, and data centers. The firm has publicly positioned itself on energy-efficient renovation and resource-conserving construction, joining the Klimastadt-Vertrag Münster initiative in 2025.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a project-by-project basis, typically acquired via public tender processes and direct client relationships in the regional German market. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm holds no external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries; ownership appears to rest with the managing directors. Marketing is limited to a company website, an Instagram profile (@sus_architekten), and direct email/phone contact.
