"North Rhine-Westphalia is one of the most important office and logistics locations in Germany. The cities of Cologne and Düsseldorf are among the top 7 office markets. It is therefore a logical step for us to occupy this important sub-market in Germany from our Cologne office with an already established team. RheinReal is one of the leading brokerage houses in the Cologne region and has been successfully present on the market since 2009 in the asset classes relevant to us, such as office, logistics and industry, and also has a high level of investment expertise that will give new impetus to the sale of commercial real estate in NRW. Due to the upcoming generational and shareholder change at RheinReal, the timing for the partnership and the change of name to Angermann NRW GmbH was ideal," explains Dr. Torsten Angermann FRICS, owner of the Angermann Group.
Generation change and change of managing partners
As part of the generational and shareholder change, RheinReal co-founder Dirk Hindrichs, as the previous managing partner, is handing over responsibility for the company to RheinReal's long-standing managers: Alexander Wunderle and Patrick Sohns. The management team will also be strengthened by Alexander Gruhler from September 1, 2024.
Alexander Wunderle will assume the role of spokesperson for the new management team and will also continue to expand the investment business and office letting. Patrick Sohns will be in charge of the Logistics and Industry department for the NRW region and will manage further expansion projects. Alexander Gruhler has extensive expertise in sales, digitalization and marketing, which he will use specifically for the growth and further development of Angermann NRW GmbH. He is responsible for the customer experience and the expansion of the corporate business.
Dirk Hindrichs, former Managing Director of RheinReal, explains: "The handover is a well-considered step that will enable the new generation to develop the company in a future-oriented manner. I am convinced that Alexander Wunderle and his management team will continue the success story beyond Cologne." Dirk Hindrichs will be available to the team in future as a consultant with his network and expertise.
