When and why did you decide to join ehret+klein?
Here at ehret+klein, I find it easy to stand behind the projects and position them initially as products on the market. The next step, however, involves much more, namely emotions. I want future tenants and buyers to understand the story behind the properties.
What is your intrinsic motivation for marketing projects?
For me, it's a combination of a number of different aspects that motivates me in the long term. On the one hand, I have the feeling that I'm not selling merely a space but the most important asset that many people will ever acquire. It's something useful and valuable that I can offer them. On the other hand, it's important to me that I understand the needs of the customer and take these into account when marketing the project. Once the buyers or tenants have moved in, I walk through the properties again. It makes me happy to see that we have created spaces in which people live.
Bastian, you're Head of Data & Analytics – how did that happen?
It really grew organically. I started out as a Corporate Controller and pretty quickly slid into real estate controlling. On one of our mandates back then, the data for around 12 properties had to be uploaded manually in this incredibly cumbersome way, based on all sorts of different worksheets and Excel templates. I knew absolutely nothing about real estate at the time, but I remember thinking: surely this can be automated. So I sat down with a colleague who helped me understand the content side of things, and taught myself how to actually solve it. In the end, we had a tool that genuinely worked – that felt really cool. And after that, the curiosity just never let go of me.
Did you always want to work with data?
I think the interest was there early on, since I already enjoyed programming as a teenager. In my thesis, I ended up focusing on data and SQL – I guess you could call that the foundation for the job I have now.
What are you especially proud of in your work?
The Immo app, which I built completely on my own. Our ERP system is fantastic when it comes to detail, but not great at giving you a consolidated overview of the key property metrics when you just need something quickly. So I used the data from our data lake to build a dashboard where you can see at a glance what's going on with a given property – everything from floor space and tenants to fit-out details that don't even exist in the ERP system. Building the dashboard itself with AI support actually went pretty fast in the end – honestly, almost anticlimactic. The real effort was in the groundwork: preparing and explaining the data in a way that the AI could actually work with meaningfully. That kept me busy for almost an entire year. When I'm deep in a project like that, I'll sometimes work through an entire night – I get into this kind of tunnel vision where I just want to finish. But in the end, the work paid off!
You already use AI very concretely in your daily work – what does that look like?
Exactly, we have AI.One, which is integrated into Microsoft Teams and connects to our data lake. The AI acts as an interface and supports our property managers especially with data research. You can ask it things like "What are the outstanding items for tenant X?" or clarify questions about lease agreements – and that already works really well. For reporting straight out of our ERP system, we're still in the testing phase. And we're currently building specialized assistants that, for example, know our process manuals inside out, so colleagues can get a quick answer without having to search for ages first.
What excites you about your job? IT is not everyone's cup of tea.
That's true! And yet we all have to deal with these machines on a daily basis. Nowadays, nothing works without IT. I probably didn't realize this when I assembled my first PC at the age of 6, but I've been incredibly fascinated by the subject ever since!
In my career so far, I've been able to gather a lot of impressions, whether as a typical system administrator - all alone in a cold server room (which is probably the cliché of the IT specialist) - or as a consultant in the Microsoft 365 area. The latter is exactly my thing. I love interacting with people - without a ticket - but in person in our IT department!
A few years ago, you were already working as an external service provider - including for ehret+klein. What is it like to be part of the team yourself now?
In my 10 years as an IT service provider, I was able to build up a sound knowledge base in all areas of IT. By supporting a wide variety of medium-sized companies, from medical practices to cytology, I was able to implement a wide range of processes and get to know a large number of software solutions.
At ehret+klein in particular, I was very impressed by the working atmosphere, the positive team spirit and the high standard with which the projects were implemented. Being able to play my part now makes me happy.
The real estate industry is not necessarily considered an innovative stronghold for software - where do you see development potential for the industry?
I don't think that can be said across the board for the real estate industry alone! Nowadays, many industries are faced with the challenge of recognizing the added value of new IT technologies and using them to their advantage. Above all, however, employees need to be brought on board and supported through the change process. Nowadays, we can rely on both tried-and-tested and new IT infrastructures that make our daily work easier. My mission: to drive digital collaboration even further, because I love and live modern working.
What I truly appreciate at ehret+klein is the high level of personal responsibility that comes with the tasks. It has allowed me to grow from a dual student to a marketing manager. Curiosity, ambition, and a hands-on mentality are, in my opinion, the key for anyone who wants to take control of their career development . You can define the role you play yourself. I now supervise a large number of projects for which I not only develop marketing concepts, but also implement them independently.
1. On which task have you particularly grown professionally?
Starting my career was actually my biggest challenge. As a career changer and just graduated from university, I had no real idea of the complexity behind construction projects that you come across almost every day. My first few months at ehret+klein were like jumping in at the deep end. My colleagues and my team, who I was able to pester with my questions, were particularly helpful. The fact that my team leader gave me the chance to prove myself despite my lack of experience is something I have only experienced at ehret+klein.
2. You support your team in various matters - what do you enjoy most?
I generally think it's cool when I see that my work contributes to the bigger picture. It's even better when something is created through teamwork. I can't name a specific task here.
3. Dog or cat and why?
Dog - Exclamation mark. Quite simply because dogs are also great team players and companions. I grew up with them and after my wife really wanted a dog and we discovered Riley at the breeder, I couldn't say no, of course. She's been part of our family ever since - with more privileges than I have.
You actually come from a background in real estate sales – what made you decide to become a project manager?
Even back then, I really enjoyed actively helping to shape new construction projects from a sales perspective, and I found it fascinating to see how a green field ultimately became a real living space. Seeing a project grow and helping to shape it from the very beginning – that's what got me hooked on project development and ultimately motivated me to switch to this field.
Do you benefit from your experience as a sales representative?
Absolutely! Through my interactions with customers, I have developed a keen sense of what is important when designing properties. In addition, I was able to learn a great deal about structural and technical requirements during the planning stage, which has been very helpful to me as I transitioned into project development.
You are originally from Stuttgart. How did you end up in Munich and ultimately at ehret+klein?
I already had a connection to Munich and the surrounding area through friends and family. The proximity to the mountains and lakes in particular makes the region a great place to live for me, as I like to spend my free time outdoors. I came across ehret+klein through one of my professors from university, who taught in the field of project development. I then decided to send a speculative application – and as you can see, it was successful.
Our society is undergoing a multidimensional transformation that is resulting in massive changes to our socio-economic structures. This situation calls for new approaches and solutions, especially in the real estate industry. How can we improve our developed and undeveloped environment in an ecological and social context? The necessary trend reversal can only be achieved through cross-industry collaboration, a creative pioneering spirit and clever value creation strategies. At Ehret+Klein, these attributes are reflected both in our projects and in our personnel development policy. Anyone can contribute to human-centered urban development – not merely as an employee but as a co-creator. It is precisely this opportunity for entrepreneurial initiative and openness to new, innovative ideas that make the work environment here particularly attractive for me.
Communication fosters acceptance. In the property sector in particular, involving all stakeholders at an early stage is not only beneficial but also crucial to success. I find it particularly rewarding to handle communications for a 360° property management firm such as Ehret+Klein AG. With its motto “unlocking urban potential”, the company tells a unique story that is also reflected in its actions. My aim is to make these actions visible and thereby bring the motto to life.

Anton Bernhardt is an asset and fund manager by conviction. When he stands in front of a building, his heart beats faster – driven by a clear ambition: to increase the property’s value for the owner in a sustainable way, whilst keeping tenants delighted in the long term. Asset management has been a constant thread throughout his career. Even whilst studying International Property Management, it was described as the ‘supreme discipline’ – a claim that immediately appealed to him. This focus was confirmed and further honed early on through numerous work placements and part-time student roles. He has underlined his professional development by qualifying as a Real Estate Economist (IREBS) and obtaining the international MRICS accreditation. Both shape his commitment to professional conduct and responsible decision-making in asset and fund management. During a semester abroad in California, he gained not only professional insights but also new perspectives. Since then, he has been convinced that: Sustainable success arises from direct interaction – with colleagues, partners and investors. Working side by side, so to speak.
This understanding also shapes his leadership style. Anton makes a conscious effort to work closely with the team, takes on responsibility and gets involved at an operational level – particularly during challenging phases. His aim: to develop viable solutions together and implement them consistently. What originally began at ehret+klein as a “boutique asset manager” alongside the property development business has now – thanks in part to his commitment – become a cornerstone of the company.
His career path took him to Munich – and this is also where he has settled in his private life. It was there that he met his wife; today he lives in Munich with her and their two daughters. The combination of economic dynamism, an urban environment and close proximity to nature makes the city the ideal place for him to call home.
Why did you choose a medium-sized company?
Short communication paths, quick decision-making, and a positive team spirit were the key factors that convinced me.
What has been your biggest success in a project so far?
The completion and handover of the apartments in the quarter "Am Papierbach" in Landsberg am Lech, along with the happy faces of the new owners and residents. It gives me the sense of creating lasting value.
What challenges still lie ahead?
Implementing the overall development of the urban quarter in the current market environment and realizing the vision for the district with all stakeholders.
Can you imagine living there yourself?
Absolutely, if the architectural quality and vision align. What matters to me is a family-friendly environment, sustainable buildings, cultural and social diversity, and a high standard of architectural design. In my opinion, the district in Landsberg offers exactly that.
