Merano · South TyrolLet’s talkAbout Hartmann Haus · Family & approach
Hartmann Haus is at home in Merano. As a family with a long business history, we want our residential projects to make a contribution to the place we call home.
The story behind Hartmann
Rooted in Merano. Connected to the world.
Our roots are in freight forwarding. Our connection to Merano spans generations.
Rudolf Hartmann founded the family business in 1880, when transport was still organised with horse-drawn wagons. He was appointed Imperial and Royal Court Forwarding Agent. From these beginnings grew an international logistics company.
Connecting people, goods and places is part of our history. These historical photographs tell the story of that time, and of a family whose journey is closely linked to Merano.
Merano’s first railway station was built on privately owned Hartmann family land. A distinctive chapter in our connection with the town.
Rudolf Hartmann’s horse-drawn wagon recalls the origins of our transport history, carrying the family name through Merano.
The family’s former private home in Merano. A personal place connecting family life with the history of the business.
What still connects us today
A new chapter followed: the development of high-quality residential property. Through Hartmann Haus, we aim to make a lasting contribution to Merano and South Tyrol, with architecture that respects its setting, careful construction and spaces where people feel at home.
Today, as a property developer, we develop our own residential projects, from the initial idea through to sale and handover. We work with local designers, construction companies and craftspeople to realise this ambition. Hartmann Haus I and II are visible chapters in that journey.

Hugo Hartmann
Driven by a passion for building.
What began with private building projects became an entrepreneurial passion for Hugo Hartmann. He is driven by the idea of creating distinctive places in Merano, with individual architecture, exacting standards of construction and a sense of what endures.
For him, bringing exceptional properties to life means more than building. It means thinking about the future of places and creating genuine value for Merano and South Tyrol.
Tobias Hartmann
Moving forward with knowledge and curiosity.
Tobias Hartmann carries this passion into the next generation. He combines his studies in law and economics with a strong affinity for technology and a thorough understanding of the local context in South Tyrol. He has already played a leading role in the existing projects.
With a clear understanding of how things connect and an openness to new solutions, he brings his own perspective, further developing the shared ambition for distinctive properties.
What matters to us
Every plot has a setting. Existing buildings, neighbours and landscape are part of the brief from the outset. Our focus is Merano.
Quality is not just a first impression. It is found in spaces, materials and decisions that stand up to everyday life.
Good projects grow from good partnerships. We combine our regional network with personal communication and clear responsibilities.
The next step is a conversation
