Hammer room stylists in need: Insolvency proceedings started!

Gifhorn, Deutschland - The brothers Schlau Group, who have been providing the region with their chain “Hammer Raumstylist” for years, faces a serious challenge: the company has filed for bankruptcy. The application to open insolvency proceedings in self -administration was submitted to the Bielefeld District Court to set the course for sustainable renovation, such as regionalheute.de. The aim of this procedure is clear: the implementation of a renovation concept that is intended to secure the continued existence of the company.

Although the situation is tense, customers can breathe a sigh of relief. All about 180 branches of Hammer and around 60 craftsman markets from the brand keep open, and orders are carried out as usual. The salaries of around 3,900 employees are secured up to and including August 2025 by the bankruptcy money of the Federal Employment Agency. Thanks to an already available financing concept, business operations are guaranteed without interruptions, which is a relief for many families in the region.

background to bankruptcy

The company's history goes back to 1921 when the brothers Theodor and Wilhelm Schlau founded a color -large act in Minden. The first hammer branch opened in Bremerhaven in 1976. Despite this solid past, the company is now facing a tense economic situation. The decision for the bankruptcy proceedings in self-administration should enable the company to work specifically on a sustainable strategy without endangering the ongoing business, according to n-tv.de.

bankruptcies in the German context

The number of bankruptcies in Germany has increased in recent years. In 2023, approx. 110,200 bankruptcies were counted, although the service sector in particular was severely affected. The corporate bankruptcies also increase - 17,814 companies registered bankruptcy, an increase compared to the previous year. Unfortunately, the brothers Gauer Group is involved in this development, in which many companies are forced to no longer be able to fulfill their payment obligations. The goals of the insolvency proceedings are a fair balance between debtors and creditors, such as Statista.com.

The future of hammer room stylists and the entire brothers Gleu Group now depends on the upcoming steps in the bankruptcy proceedings. The hope applies to the development of successful renovation strategies that make it possible to get the company back on track and to maintain the broad workforce.
