News & Dates UHB meetings

At this spring meeting, the founding managing director H. Christoph Freudenberger, who handed over his office to the new board of directors at the end of last year after almost thirty years of association activity, will be officially retired. Mr. Freudenberger will thus become an honorary member of the association.

This year the annual general meeting took place in beautiful Fulda. The host this time was the stonemason Karl Bug. The company reworks antique stone objects for garden and home. For more than 80 years, however, it has also been producing high-quality gravestones from a wide variety of materials.

For the 54th meeting Thomas Knapp invited this time, as before in autumn 2013, to the Weserbergland. On the weekend from 17 to 19 May it was time for the colleagues from all parts of Germany to come to Deensen.

Whenever the denkmal takes place in Leipzig and that is every two years, we hold our annual general meeting on Sunday after the fair has ended.

For the 52nd member meeting our new 1st board Olaf Elias and Nicole Wilken had thought up something very special. The garden city Frohnau, a guided tour in the Hedwig Bollhagen workshops and Clärchen's Ballhaus in Berlin

We had great expectations of this meeting. Unknown place, important decisions and decisions, all this made us travel to Thuringia with excitement. And we were not disappointed. All is well, that means in New German, but read for yourself.

The club members met for the second time at Martin Häberle (HBO) in Söhnstetten on the Swabian Alb

The preparations of the UHB lasted more than one year, on November 10th it was time, the denkmal 2016 opened its doors and the UHB was present with a broad mass presence.

As already announced, the Unternehmerverband Historische Baustoffe e.V. (Association of Historical Building Materials) (UHB) will be auctioning off 60 historical objects from its members' holdings on all three days of the "denkmal" trade fair from 10 to 12 November 2016 from 4.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m.

Important decisions had to be made at the general meeting in Aachen. On the one hand the board had to be newly elected and on the other hand important decisions had to be made regarding the participation of the UHB at the denkmal 2016 in Leipzig.
