"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.

There is a lot of mystery around the end of this big construction company. First there was the disappearing of Xeander Berg.

This was a big clap for the company. But the biggest impact on the bankruptcy was the payback of the projects.
