EHL: History
known real estate entrepreneur also learned his real estate trade at today's EHL.
Michael Ehlmaier with his first Caesar. Ten more are to follow for the EHL up to today.
It soon became clear to Michael Ehlmaier that the company, which was originally conceived as an "in- house estate agent" of a private bank, could only develop successfully if it demonstrated independ- ence. With great commitment, he therefore acquired third-party properties from a wide variety of sellers. Eventually, Michael Ehlmaier became authorised sig- natory and head of sales for commercial real estate after only three years in the company; after fi ve years he took over the management. From the beginning, Ehlmaier was driven by the conviction that successful marketing of real estate is only possible with a strong team. Thus, some of today's best-established real es- tate managers passed through his EHL school. One such example is Wolfgang Scheibenpfl u g, w ho w as with EHL from 1997 to 2013 and who is now Head of Real Estate and Location Management at Flughafen Wien AG. Many of EHL's current managers have been on board for what feels like an eternity: Alexandra Bauer, who is part of EHL since 2003 and is still responsible for the market reports of the EHL group of companies. Stefan Wernhart, who is with the company since 2005 and today is Managing Direc-tor of EHL Commercial Property. Herwig Peham, who joined the company in 2004 and is successful as the division manager for investment, and the apartment house specialist Thomas Stix; he has been part of the EHL Group since 2006. Step by step, the company developed into a renowned and successful real estate company and the number of employees steadily grew.
Michael Ehlmaier's strengths from the very beginning. Subsequently, Michael Ehlmaier, who at first probably sat between the chairs, became the team-building third member in record time, taking care of office as well as retail and investment properties. It is probably this intuitive ability to generate team spirit and then focus forces together towards the market that soon brought Michael Ehlmaier to the forefront of the real estate industry. Even back then, the company forged careers for the future. Consequently, many names that are very well known today launched their profes- sional flights into the orbit of the then CPB Immobil- ientreuhand. For example, Daniel Jelitzka, the well-
