Managing Partner
Karl Schwitzke
Karl Schwitzke, born in 1955, founded his first architectural firm while studying in Kaiserslautern. After graduating as a designer and interior designer, he sold his shares and traveled to the USA and the Caribbean for a year. Back in Germany, he gained further professional experience at Kohlbecker in Gaggenau before going back to the USA on a scholarship from the Carl Duisberg Society. There he worked for Associated Space Design in Atlanta for two years and won his first major competition. Upon his return, he was responsible for interior design at Hentrich, Petschnigg and Partner with projects in Germany and abroad. Karl Schwitzke’s view of marketing and retail, store and branding was shaped by his years at Esprit, where he, as head of the architecture department, decisively shaped the appearance of the fashion and lifestyle brand in Europe. In 1989 he left Esprit to set up his own design office again, Schwitzke & Partner GmbH. With its specialization in retail, the agency quickly became a success story with numerous national and international awards. From these beginnings, a group of companies has emerged with various services related to retail, brands, F&B, hospitality, offices and shopping centers. In addition to his role as managing partner of the Schwitzke Group, Karl Schwitzke is the managing director of Schwitzke Gorski in Kraków.

Klaus Schwitzke
Klaus Schwitzke, born in 1959, studied design and interior design in Kaiserslautern. After completing his studies, the graduate designer moved to the Esprit fashion brand, where he initially worked in a leading position on shop-in-store and franchise stores. Through his later role as department head for the areas of architecture, facility management and visual display as well as through various trips and experiences in the USA, he became aware of holistic brand communication. In 1991 he joined the Schwitzke & Partner architectural firm founded by his brother Karl. Together with his brother, the company was gradually expanded, renewed and developed strategically. The general contractor Schwitzke Project was founded in 2002 with the idea that the company that does the planning should do the building as well. As managing director, he managed the successful subsidiary for the first three years. This was followed by further start-ups: In 2010 he became managing director of Schwitzke ID, the agency for branding & communication, and in 2013 of Schwitzke Lab, the strategic brand consultancy. Today, as managing partners, both are responsible for the strategic development of the entire group of companies, which now has 200 employees in three countries, advise international companies and see themselves as pioneers and visionaries – without losing their own close customer contact.
