Bayreuth location

University and cultural city: it all began in Bayreuth in Upper Franconia in 2000 with Oberender & Partner. From our offices in a stylish old villa, we have a direct view of Haus Wahnfried. The history of Richard Wagner is thus not only present, but also gives us a very special charm in our 670 square meters. From table football in the vaulted cellar, to our cozy garden terrace, to the office, conference and training rooms: in this special and inspiring atmosphere, sophisticated concepts and creative solutions are developed for our customers. The Oberender Research Institute team works closely with the university structures. This is how we set the pace for you!

We are here for you.

Munich location

Hello from Munich. In the Bavarian capital, modern office charm meets a friendly team. We have been at home in the west of Munich between Hirschgarten and Westpark since 2011. Our versatile rooms offer sufficient space for interdisciplinary exchange and concentrated work. The central meeting point is our open and modern kitchen, where the team likes to meet for brainstorming sessions, coordination or just a nice chat. Come and visit us for an espresso!
