Bahnhofplatzgesellschaften, a subsidiary of LBBW Immobilien, is restructuring its executive leadership. Effective 16 November 2026, Thomas Bartl will join the company's management board. Going forward, he will form the company's leadership duo alongside Ralf Hoffmann. Bartl takes over the position from Tanja Gröger, who has left the company.
Experience in portfolio control and asset management
The graduate civil engineer and real estate economist brings more than two decades of real estate industry experience to his new role. Most recently, as Head of Asset Management at Bayerische Hausbau Real Estate, he oversaw a property portfolio with a total value of around EUR 3.5 billion.
In this role, Bartl held overall responsibility for the operational and strategic direction of various asset classes. His responsibilities included, in particular, portfolio development, technical asset management, leasing, and ESG. Prior to his time at Bayerische Hausbau, Bartl worked for AccorInvest and MEAG, among others.

Focus on Stuttgart's Schlossgartenquartier
On the occasion of the appointment, Marco Knopp, spokesperson for the management board of LBBW Immobilien, emphasised that Bartl combines strategic foresight with commercial expertise and sound industry knowledge. His many years of experience managing large, complex portfolios precisely matched the requirements for the ongoing development of the group's portfolios and projects. At the same time, Knopp expressed his gratitude to departing board member Tanja Gröger for her contribution to the development of Bahnhofplatzgesellschaften.
Within the board, Bartl will primarily head the commercial divisions. Alongside financial supervision of development projects and commercial portfolio management, Stuttgart's Schlossgartenquartier will be a core focus of his future responsibilities. The scheme in the heart of the Baden-Württemberg state capital is among the most significant urban development projects of LBBW Immobilien. Thomas Bartl will steer this process jointly with Ralf Hoffmann from commercial, strategic, and marketing perspectives.
