What stattbau münchen does

stattbau münchen GmbH is a privately held, interdisciplinary urban development consulting firm founded in Munich in 2014. It advises public and private clients on sustainable housing, neighborhood, and mobility concepts, with thematic focuses on affordable housing, social neighborhoods, integrated quarter development, and needs-based mobility. The firm operates through five core service lines — Quartiersentwicklung (neighborhood development), Mobilitätskonzepte (mobility concepts), Konzeptvergabe (concept award procedures), Beteiligungsverfahren (participation procedures), and Wohnprojektberatung (housing project advisory) — plus the publicly funded mitbauzentrale münchen, a free advisory center for communal housing established on behalf of the City of Munich in October 2014 and extended to surrounding districts as mitbauzentrale regio in 2019.

The firm's underlying "technology" consists of documented consulting methodologies rather than a software platform: a Konsortialer Entwicklungsprozess (consortium development process) for multi-stakeholder coordination, an Integriertes Mobilitätskonzept (integrated mobility concept) that combines parking management, mobility stations, car-sharing, and bicycle infrastructure to enable reductions in statutory parking standards (achieved ratios of 0.4 to 0.6 versus a 1.0 baseline), and a Konzeptvergabeverfahren (concept award procedure) for quality-based municipal land allocation. There is no proprietary software, API, or AI/ML component disclosed; the offering is delivered by a 12-person interdisciplinary team combining urban planning, architecture, sociology, geography, and ethnology.

The business model is professional services: project-based, fee-for-service consulting engagements commissioned directly by municipalities, housing companies, cooperatives, and foundations, complemented by the publicly funded mitbauzentrale mandate. Go-to-market is sales-led and event-driven, leveraging the team's conference presence, professional publications, study trips, and referrals within the Bavarian and Munich urban development community. Key clients include Landeshauptstadt München (multiple agencies), ISARIA Wohnbau AG, WOGENO München eG, wagnis eG, Bayerische Versorgungskammer, Munich Future City West GmbH, Stadt Garching, Stadt Nürtingen, Montag Stiftung Urbane Räume, and IBA Hamburg GmbH. The firm is owned and led by managing directors/shareholders Natalie Schaller and Christian Bitter together with shareholder Kyrill Hirner, with no external investors, VC backing, or parent company.
