"The acts of individuals make the future of mankind" - Eric Kleinmann The Bergmann group was a very important pioneer in the world of building structures of underground constructions. They improved the techniques of reinforced stone and changed the way of building underground. Most engineers are still using the knowledge today of the Bergmann group.


If this company was so important, why can't we find anything about it? This was because of personality of Eric Kleinmann, founder and owner of the Bergmann company. He was a modest entrepreneur who didn't like much attention in the business world. The Bergmann Group operated mostly under pseudonyms to avoid too much press attention.


The founders: The German, Eric Kleinmann was a building engineer who inherited one of the biggest building companies of Western Europe of his father, Edward Kleinmann. He was one of the entrepreneurs of the new generation in his time. His company was the founder of reinforced stone as we now know today.

After the war they returned to the rest of Europe. Their first big project after the war was in the capital Stalburg. The city suffered a lot under the German bombing.

The city council gave the Bergmann group some room to build innovating structures for the city. One of the idea's was to do something with the rivers around Stalburg. The company Hartman built 2 hydrogen dams for the main electricity production of the city. Bergmann had the job to create the main tunnels for the underground power plants. With the knowledge of the bunker constructions for the Swiss government the Bergmann company had a lot of knowhow for this task.

There is a lot of mystery around the end of this big construction company. First there was the disappearing of Xeander Berg. In his last classified reports of 1960 he talked about a new innovation that would change the building world forever. After that he disappeared and nothing was heard from him again. This was a big clap for the company. But the biggest impact on the bankruptcy was the payback of the projects. The innovation team spent almost everything of the Bergmann group's money and the company gained little in return for their building projects.
