Hello, democracy! A company portrait in the Badische Zeitung
The Badische Zeitung looks behind the scenes: from Waging in Bavaria to Ichenheim in Baden, and how democracy in a company actually works.

An interview with Hagen Späth for the BZ company portrait offers a look behind the scenes at querdenker engineering GmbH.
Alongside the story of how the company came about, from Waging in Bavaria to Ichenheim in Baden, it covers growth and where we want to go.
It also reports on something unusual: how we practise democracy inside the company.
From the article in the BZ Lahr:
It takes more time. It asks more of everyone. But it is also something special: at querdenker engineering, everything of consequence is decided together and democratically: whether to accept or turn down a project, who is hired, and who is let go. “It was like that from the start, and by now it is written into the company rules,” says managing director Florian Seibold.
We know we are a little different from the others, and when it comes to working well together and to helping each individual along, you sometimes have to take a new path. We are proud to be part of a democratic company, to be supported and challenged day after day, and to have the chance every day to get a little better and to help others do the same.
It is not always easy, but working with that kind of agency is worth it. On that we agree.
Would you like to know more about us? You are warmly invited to come and meet us.
