Solid. Hanseatic.
Flexvelop.
Since 2018, on the side of businesses—not banks.
Our office is located in one of Hamburg's most beautiful buildings: the listed Halbmondhaus on Elbchaussee. Originally built in 1796 as a stable, the building underwent extensive renovation in 2021 and has been restored to its former glory.
It is something very special for our team to be able to work in this prestigious building and welcome guests.
