The most important question first: Where does the name Gebrüder Fritz come from, as you are almost all women?

The location in Charlottenburg was built in 1903 by three owners and their names were Christian, Carl and Heinrich Fritz. As my grandfather's name was Carl and those of my friends who helped me set up the business were Christian and Heinrich, the name Gebrüder Fritz was decided on immediately.

Who or what inspired you to found a company?

My mother has always had a love of large old apartments, beautiful things and interiors and was also self-employed. At the time, I was fearless on the right and believed in the idea and the concept, even though there was no double bottom or investor.

What makes your concept special?

I love being a hostess and to this day I see myself more as such than as a location landlady. Whether you come to our location or to my home, everyone should feel comfortable and be well looked after. That's why I describe our work less as a concept and more as my attitude to how I like to receive guests.

You always have new set-ups, where do you leave all the furniture?

I love change and I quickly get bored with the look of the rooms and need something new. That's why we often repaint and buy furniture for our collection, which makes it even easier for our customers to make our rooms their own. My great team then makes the furniture disappear just as quickly. To do this, we have stolen all our neighbors' cellars and have a large furniture warehouse in Lichtenberg.

What are your plans for the Gebrüder Fritz in the next few years?

The Gebrüder Fritz company is constantly evolving, because standing still is not an option for me. Since the company was founded, we have now opened four locations and an event agency. We already have big plans for 2025, so it will always be exciting.
