Developments such as the RWTH campus in Aachen, which is unique in its innovative capacity, are supported by Norbert Hermanns with passion: the architectural and urban design quality fascinates the father of four, as does the practised harmony with which the campus combines urban development and scientific excellence.

His focus in the work of the executive board is on the field of housing, above all the development of residential areas, but also investment and sales decisions, corporate philosophy and family office. Last but not least, the family man is concerned with providing inspiration for inner-city developments, such as at the Aachen Büchel or at the main railway station in Münster. The combination of aesthetics, sustainability and benefit to the public is always the main objective.
