Mertesacker Vermögensverwaltungs

Mertesacker Vermögensverwaltungs

Mertesacker Vermögensverwaltungs was founded in 2013 to manage the capital generated by Per Mertesacker's elite playing career. The firm is run day-to-day by his brother Timo Mertesacker and business partner Timo Kosien, both of whom serve as Managing Directors. Wealth management here is a direct extension of the family's local roots — the office's core is a collection of seven controlled subsidiaries including CP Immobilien, Mertrago Balearen, and modular-construction specialist Sturm & Drang Projekt, which together give it an operational footprint that blurs the line between family office and regional developer. The investment strategy is anchored in real estate, with a project pipeline that spans multi-family buildings in Hannover's Döhren and List districts, row houses in Pattensen, and a series of luxury finca projects in Mallorca locations like Santanyí and Portocolom. Alongside the property book, the firm makes direct startup investments at the seed stage through SPVs. Its disclosed venture focuses include ClimateTech, PropTech, and Sports & Wellness — areas that map directly onto the family's public identity and operating expertise. Geographic exposure concentrates in Lower Saxony and the Balearic Islands. The firm maintains a lean team structure with specialists in finance, real estate, and digital marketing, and has recently expanded hiring to support on-site construction roles in Mallorca. In early 2024, the affiliated Per Mertesacker Stiftung received the SPOBIS Sustainability in Sports award, reflecting the foundation's central role in the overall structure — it currently supports 150 children in the Hannover region through a ten-year program combining academics and football training. While no external AUM is reported, the office's member associations, including BinBau e.V., signal an active posture in Germany's sustainable-building policy network. What distinguishes this office structurally is its status as an operating company as much as an asset manager. Unlike family offices that allocate third-party capital across funds, Mertesacker's deployment is largely absorbed by its own controlled subsidiaries — specifically the modular housing venture Sturm & Drang Projekt, which uses serial construction to produce energy-positive affordable housing. This design means the family directly captures development margins and construction profits, then recycles them into the grant-making activities of its philanthropic foundation, creating a closed-loop model between commercial real estate and social programming.
