-
Thirty-three thousand square meters of modern urban
office space near Munich’s East Station
- Flexible structures and modern workplace environment
for about 4,000 people
- Forward-looking, sustainable building technologies and
carbon neutral orientation
- Four strong, long-term Siemens locations in and around
Munich
Siemens is planning to open a new
office location near Munich’s East Station by the end of 2027. In the new
building, which is currently under construction, the company intends to rent
around 33,000 square meters of modern office space. Siemens’ offices in
Munich’s Perlach district will be transferred to the inter-urban structure,
which will be a prominent feature of the southern entrance to the city’s
so-called Werksviertel district. The company sold and leased back the Munich-Perlach
location in 2010. On completion, the new building will provide office space for
about 4,000 people.
- Automation business: focus on growth markets and stronger customer orientation
- Electric vehicle charging business: concentration on fast-charging infrastructure
for depots and fleets and for en-route charging
- Capacity adjustments worldwide and in Germany necessary at both
businesses
- Planned measures in automation business to affect around 5,600 jobs
worldwide, including about 2,600 in Germany;
around 450 jobs worldwide to be affected
in electric vehicle charging business, including about 250 in Germany
- No operational-related redundancies in Germany
- Continued strong commitment to Germany as a business location
Siemens has presented
plans to further increase its global competitiveness to employee
representatives. The plans affect units in the automation business at Digital
Industries and the electric vehicle charging business at Smart Infrastructure. Changed
conditions in key markets have made capacity adjustments necessary in both
cases. For two years, the German market, in particular, has been declining. As
a result, capacities in Germany will have to be adjusted. Operational-related
layoffs in Germany are ruled out. The aim is to strengthen the future
competitiveness of the businesses affected and enable investments in growth
markets. Despite the planned adjustments, Siemens’ total headcount in Germany
will tend to remain stable due to hiring in other, growing areas.
