In his free time, Stefan Truthän actively contributes to the various associations and organizations of which he is a member.  He is also an active member of the Friedrichshain branch of the Berlin Fire Department.

hhpberlin has been closely tied to Margot Ehrlicher from the start, and she has been supporting and promoting our staff both in technical terms and in their personal growth ever since the company was founded.  Margot Ehrlicher is a highly respected authority in precautionary fire protection.

She held a leadership position with the Berlin Fire Department for more than twenty years prior to joining Hosser, Hass + Partner in 1992, focusing on the prevention of fires as opposed to fighting them.

Following the spin-off in 2000, Margot Ehrlicher took the helm of hhpberlin GmbH.  Her first task was to position the company in the market and to grow it.

Today, she is supported by two managing directors, meaning she can concentrate fully on managing the company in technical terms and on taking care of our Key Accounts.

In addition, Margot Ehrlicher is a publicly appointed, sworn expert of the Baukammer (Chamber of Construction) Berlin for fire protection and post-fire investigations, as well as a reviewing engineer for fire protection and life safety issues.
