Joachim Kritzer was born in Karlsruhe on December 18, 1962. After training as an electrician at Sauter in Bretten, Mr. Kritzer gained his first professional experience as a project manager. In 1991, Mr. Kritzer was awarded a master craftsman's certificate in the electrical installation trade. As project manager, Mr. Kritzer supervised a large number of complex construction projects, such as the new construction of the Landeszentralbank in Trier in 1997/1998. This project placed the highest demands on safety technology. Another challenging project was the new construction of the Tectrum Technology Centre in Duisburg (formerly the Duisburg Microelectronics Centre), whose architectural design was created by Sir Norman Foster and is characterized by its elaborate glass façade. Mr. Joachim Kritzer joined fc.ingenieure in 2000 - the first year after the company was founded. He was Managing Director until October 2017 and headed up the electrical engineering division at the Ettlingen branch. Since November 2017, he has been working as Managing Director at FC-Planung GmbH in Stuttgart, where he continues to expand the electrical engineering planning division.
