Overview

• HF Friseurbetrieb GmbH will assume control on 1 October, with sole shareholder and managing director Christoph Fellenberg leading the transition.
• The acquisition covers five sites — three in Hamburg (Kaisergalerie, AEZ, Waitzstraße) plus Hannover and Düsseldorf — while Pöseldorf and Mallorca were not part of the insolvency.
• Approximately 70 positions will be retained as salon operations continue under the new ownership.
• The Marlies Möller name will be removed from the acquired locations as part of a rebranding intended to build an independent profile.
• The purchase price was not disclosed, and administrators said the financial distress stemmed from pandemic and Ukraine-war-related revenue declines alongside rising operating costs.
