Wirtgen Invest
Wirtgen Invest traces its capital to the 2017 transaction in which John Deere acquired the family-owned Wirtgen Group. Stefan and Jürgen Wirtgen established the office three years earlier to manage the proceeds through long-term proprietary investments. The office concentrates on four areas: prime German and European real estate, utility-scale solar and wind projects, growth-stage venture holdings, and diversified financial portfolios. Confirmed real-estate assets include 50 Finsbury Square in London, T8 in Frankfurt, Opern Passagen in Cologne and several residential and hotel properties in Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart and Hamburg. Energy positions span Glenrowan West Solar Farm in Australia, Margariti Solar Park in Greece, Wind Park Barwice in Poland and additional solar and wind assets in Portugal, Hungary, Sweden and the Czech Republic. Geographic reach covers Europe, Asia, North America and Oceania. Team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. The office operates additional philanthropic vehicles including the Jürgen Wirtgen Stiftung, the Stefan Wirtgen Stiftung and Aktionsgruppe Kinder in Not e.V. It maintains membership in the Association of German Foundations. Ownership stays within the founding family branch. Investment decisions rest with the two brothers, who apply an owner-operator model across direct holdings rather than fund commitments.
