Heilmann & Littmann was a leading German contracting business. They were involved in the building of theCircus Sarrasani,[1]
It was founded in 1871 byJakob Heilmann (1846-1927) inRegensburg as "Baugeschäft J. Heilmann" (J. Heilmann building company), and, by 1876, specialized on railway construction, later on in building construction.[2]
In 1892, the architectMax Littmann (1862-1931), Heilmann's son-in-law, joined the company, thus forming an ordinary partnership ("Offene Handelsgesellschaft Heilmann & Littmann").
In 1897,Richard Reverdy became another partner and managing director, and the company was transformed into a limited liability company, specialising on the construction of theaters and other monumental structure, e.g. the present-day MunichHofbräuhaus was erected during the years 1896 and 1897 by Heilmann & Littmann.
After Jakob Heilmann's death in 1927, the construction businesses in Munich, Nuremberg and Berlin were taken over by theHeilmann'sche Immobilien-Gesellschaft AG, creating theHeilmann & Littmann Bau-AG.
After a merger in 1980 with theSager & Woerner KG the company's name changed intoHeilit + Woerner Bau-AG, and eventually it was taken over by theWalter Bau AGAugsburg.
