What UmweltPlan GmbH Stralsund does

UmweltPlan GmbH Stralsund is an employee-led (mitarbeitergeführte) environmental planning consultancy founded in 1995 and headquartered in Stralsund, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The firm operates through three offices (Stralsund HQ, Rostock, and Greifswald) and fields a 60+ person cross-disciplinary team spanning geography, geology, biology, engineering, landscape architecture, and IT. Its service portfolio is organized into eight practice areas: Regional Planning, Environmental Planning, Landscape Architecture, Landscape Ecology, Hydraulic Engineering, Immission Control, Hydrogeology, and GIS-Solutions. The company has extended into digital deliverables, including a Web-GIS application for insect habitat connectivity planning.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue generated through public tenders and direct client engagement. The customer base is dominated by German public-sector buyers — municipal governments (e.g., Hansestadt Stralsund, Universitäts- und Hansestadt Greifswald), state agencies (e.g., Staatliches Amt für Landwirtschaft und Umwelt Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, Ministerium für Landwirtschaft und Umwelt M-V), and water-management bodies (WasserZweckVerband Malchin Stavenhagen) — with a secondary private tail serving infrastructure and energy clients (50Hertz Transmission, GASCADE Gastransport, DEGES, Fährhafen Sassnitz). Work spans environmental impact assessments, Natura 2000/FFH compliance, hydrogeological exploration, water supply planning, hydraulic and noise engineering, and landscape architecture for construction and infrastructure projects. Certifications include DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 (TÜV CERT) and the Audit berufundfamilie work-life balance certification.

Core technology is conventional GIS-based spatial analysis supported by hydrogeological modeling, drone imagery, and an in-house Web-GIS stack. Underlying platforms include FOSSGIS open-source tooling. Distribution is direct enterprise/public-sector sales rather than channel-based. The ownership structure is private, with managing-shareholder Synke Ahlmeyer (CEO-equivalent since 2004) leading an employee-shareholder governance model after founder Klaus Freudenberg's 2013 retirement. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed; employee count and office footprint imply a small-to-mid-sized German engineering consultancy.
