Our first office in Germany was opened in Berlin on November 1, 2009 to strengthen our expertise in engineering and consulting.
In the 15-year-old photo, you see Stefan Bühler as CEO PROSE CH at that time, and André Rohrbeck as Managing Director PROSE DE at that time, in front of the Berlin District Court, Charlottenburg.
Since then, we have continuously expanded our German business. In 2011, a second office in Munich was established by acquiring Ebmeyer und Butz GmbH.
During these 15 years, we have supported over 100 German customers in more than 1000 projects, establishing a strong presence in the German market thanks to our unique expertise in railway technology. Read more about our projects here: https://prose.one/our-references/
A big thank you to our customers for your trust over the years and to our employees for making our success possible. We aim to further grow in the German market and to offer our full range of services from the PROSE Group. We are also seeking new colleagues to contribute to our continued success.

With the LEILA Light bogie, developed in collaboration between JOSEF MEYER Rail and PROSE, we are setting new standards in rail freight transport. The joint venture stands for efficiency, sustainability and technical excellence: LEILA Light reduces noise and minimises wear and tear on the rail infrastructure, resulting in significant cost advantages and increased speed.
But such innovations require more than just technology. Cooperation and targeted use of resources are crucial to overcoming challenges such as the asymmetrical distribution of the costs of technologies and jointly paving the way for the future.
Besides the enjoyable event, here are our key takeaways:
Conversations with sustainability experts highlighted potential partnerships in circular economy initiatives in Germany, promising to align our efforts with sustainable practices.
Insights from DAC Europe specialists shed light on the complex journey towards digitalising rail freight transport, sparking discussions on overcoming current challenges.
These experiences remind us why we are committed to being active members: to network, engage with thought leaders, and stay ahead in driving meaningful change.
We are looking forward to the next steps. Let’s connect and shape the mobility of tomorrow together
Guess what we are doing in the photo?
Yes, we were trying to perform maintenance on a new train in an existing workshop. And in the end, we found a solution that allowed us to work in an upright, safe position.
In workshop planning, we have to care about working security, ergonomics, and efficiency. We want our customers to be aware of the infrastructural challenges.
At the IHRUS conference on Thursday 14th of November, we are going to present more challenges and our approach to developing solutions.
Take the opportunity to listen to our expert Tobias Hoppe and how PROSE addresses the dilemma: “Old depot, new fleet?” The fleet order is usually before the workshop planning. We show you how it can still work.
Last week,PROSE-employees Dr. Felix Saur, Yves Kohler and Stefan Bühler had the privilege of attending the “Lärmforschung Eisenbahn” event organised by the Swiss Federal Office for the Environment FOEN (BAFU). The event was a hub of knowledge and innovation with around 70 participants from Switzerland, Germany, and Austria.
The program featured six compelling speeches on the topic of noise emissions from railway vehicles. Various models were presented and discussed, each aiming to determine the noise generated by railway vehicles accurately. These models are becoming increasingly detailed and complex, considering the characteristics of the vehicle, the rail, and its substructure.
A notable highlight was the comparison between Switzerland’s state-of-the-art models and Germany’s older “Schall 03” model, showcasing Switzerland’s leading role in driving innovation in this field.
We are proud to be part of events that foster collaboration and knowledge-sharing across borders. We look forward to leveraging these insights to further improve our contributions to the industry.
