About Kurt Krieger

Kurt Krieger purchased Hoeffner Group in 1967 and turned it into one of Germany's leading furniture retailers.

After the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, he seized the opportunity to tap into new markets in eastern Germany.

Besides Hoeffner Group, Krieger owns real estate in his hometown Berlin, having acquired almost 100 acres in 2010.

He's planning a development project with schools, shopping centers and, of course, a furniture store in the northern part of the city.
