Harlander Holzbau, founded in 1949 by master carpenter Georg Harlander, is a traditional family business based in Landau an der Isar. The range of services includes carpentry and joinery work, with a particular focus on staircase construction and the renovation of historic wooden windows and doors. Thanks to close cooperation with the monument protection authorities and the use of traditional craftsmanship techniques, listed buildings are professionally restored. At the same time, Harlander Holzbau realizes individual new constructions that blend harmoniously into the existing architecture.
The Harlander company specializes in the renovation and restoration of old wooden staircases in Munich's city centre. These staircases often pose a challenge, particularly in listed apartment buildings, as they are frequently worn, unstable or even structurally unsafe. With invisible beams and modern concreting technology, the stairs are stabilized without impairing their original appearance. We work closely with the heritage protection authorities to ensure that historic staircases are professionally preserved.
During the renovation, great importance is attached to preserving the existing substance. Worn steps are sanded down, edges are renewed and the surfaces are repainted. Often the replacement of stairs is not permitted or even necessary, especially when it comes to building elements with historical significance. This sustainable approach conserves resources and preserves the original character of the building.
Harlander also picks up on current trends in new builds. While beech stairs were popular in the past, rustic oak dominates today. However, the choice between renovation and new construction depends on the condition and design of the staircase. Renovation can be easier for stringer stairs or stairs with metal supports, while sanding and refurbishing is often the better solution for morticed stairs. Harlander offers individual advice to find the best option for each customer.
For larger projects, such as the renovation of entire stairwells, Harlander often works during ongoing operations. Close coordination with property managers and tenants ensures that everything runs smoothly. For every order, the focus is on precisely determining the requirements before a non-binding, transparent quotation is drawn up. Harlander impresses with flexible solutions that are tailored to the specific needs and conditions on site.
