Philipp Alexander Murmann (born May 15, 1964) is a German businessman and politician. He is the chief executive and managing partner of the Zöllner group of Kiel, a family-owned maker of acoustic signalling equipment for ships and locomotives and of warning systems for railway track worksites, which he has led as the third generation of his family since 2001.[1][2] Since 2021 he has also been president of UVNord, the umbrella employers' and business federation for Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, and a member of the presidium of the Confederation of German Employers' Associations (BDA).[3][4]

A member of the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU), Murmann represented the Plön and Neumünster constituency in the Bundestag from 2009 to 2017, winning the seat directly at both the 2009 and 2013 federal elections. In parliament he sat on the finance committee and was a deputy member of the committee on education, research and technology assessment.[1][5] He did not seek a third term.[6] From 2014 to 2022 he was the CDU's federal treasurer (Bundesschatzmeister), a post that made him a member of the party's national presidium; he was succeeded by Julia Klöckner.[7][8]

Murmann trained as a mechanical engineer at the Technical University of Munich and earned a doctorate in business administration at the University of Kiel before spending the 1990s in sales and marketing at ABB, including a posting in Malaysia, and then at TESSAG, part of the RWE group.[1] When he took over the Zöllner business in 2001, after it was split from an automotive test bench operation, it had about 30 employees; by the company's 75th anniversary in 2021 it had close to 400, with subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Poland and Australia.[9][10] Alongside these roles he has held a long series of unpaid posts in Schleswig-Holstein's research and education bodies, among them the presidency of the Forschungsforum Schleswig-Holstein and the chairmanship of the support association of the University of Kiel's Faculty of Engineering.[1][9]

Early life and education

Murmann was born in Kiel on May 15, 1964.[1] He belongs to a family that has owned the Zöllner company since 1980, when his grandfather, the mining engineer (Bergassessor) Walter Murmann, bought it. His father, Rolf Murmann, was a shareholder from 1980 to 2001 and managed the company for many years; in 2021 he was honorary chairman of the advisory board of Zöllner Holding GmbH.[10][9] Murmann has two sisters, Amelie Fritsch and Marina von Achten, who are also shareholders in the company.[9]

He passed his Abitur in 1983 at the Jungmannschule, a Gymnasium in Eckernförde. He then joined the Bundeswehr in Neumünster and later reached the rank of Oberleutnant (first lieutenant) in the reserve.[1] In 1985 he began studying mechanical engineering at the Technical University of Munich.[1]

In 1994 he received a doctorate in business administration from the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel (the University of Kiel), where his doctoral studies were funded by a scholarship from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).[1] His thesis, on time management in the development departments of mechanical engineering firms, was published by the Deutscher Universitäts-Verlag as Zeitmanagement für Entwicklungsbereiche im Maschinenbau.[11]

Career

ABB, 1994 to 1999

Murmann started his career in 1994 at ABB (Asea Brown Boveri) in Nuremberg. In 1996 the company sent him to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as head of ABB's turbine sales for Southeast Asia.[1]

TESSAG and RWE, 1999 to 2001

In 1999 he became head of marketing and international operations at TESSAG, a company in the RWE group.[1]

Zöllner, 2001 to present

Background and takeover

Zöllner was founded in Kiel in 1946. Its early products were engine test stands and acoustic signalling systems for the shipbuilding and railway industries.[9] In a 2021 interview Murmann said the company had come out of the Germania shipyard, where ship engines and their test benches were built, and that a man named Zöllner set up the business with a friend after the Second World War. The Zöllner family ran it for two generations before Walter Murmann bought it in 1980.[9][10] In the 1990s the company added optical and acoustic warning systems for railway track worksites, a range sold under the name Autoprowa. Germany's Federal Railway Authority approved the system in 1996.[9][10]

Murmann said in the same interview that he had not originally planned to join the business, since his father had built up the test bench side and brought in the Austrian engineering group AVL. In 2000, he said, his father told him that "AVL would like to hand over the Typhon branch", the horn and signalling business. The family decided to split the company, and the signalling business restarted with 30 employees, with the aim of growing slowly and building up its railway activities.[9] The company's timeline records the automotive division (AVL) being spun off in 2001, the same year Murmann took over management of the family business in the third generation.[9] His Bundestag biography describes the step as taking over Zöllner Holding GmbH in Kiel as managing partner (geschäftsführender Gesellschafter).[1]

Ulrich Matthiesen, who later ran ZÖLLNER Signal GmbH as managing director from 2008 to 2019, wrote in the anniversary brochure that in 1995 Rolf Murmann had offered him control of the signalling department, which then had 21 employees and annual turnover of about €3.5 million (roughly DM 7 million). He called the takeover of the department by the Murmann family in 2001, and the management of the company by Philipp Murmann that followed, "a great stroke of luck for all of us", and wrote that turnover and headcount had since multiplied.[9]

Expansion, 2001 to 2016

Under Murmann the company set up or bought businesses abroad. ZÖLLNER UK Ltd. was founded in 2002 in Peterborough and later moved to Leeds. In 2005 the group bought Track Warning AB of Tygelsjö near Malmö, Sweden, which was later absorbed into the group.[9] ZÖLLNER France S.A.R.L. was founded in 2006 in Amilly, south of Paris. The company says the French unit now also serves customers in Belgium, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.[9][12] In 2009 the company built a new and larger headquarters in the Kiel district of Moorsee. Murmann later said that being able to sell the old site and build a modern technology site had been very important to the company.[9]

Around the turn of the 2010s, subsidiaries were set up in Madrid (ZÖLLNER Signal Systems Iberica S.L.) and Warsaw (ZÖLLNER Polska Sp. z o.o.). The company says the Polish unit is the sole supplier of automatic track warning systems (ATWS) to the Polish railway and its construction contractors.[9][12] During the 2010s Zöllner also built up a third product area in railway infrastructure. ZÖLLNER Australia Pty Ltd. was founded in Sydney in 2012.[9][10]

Acquisitions continued in the middle of the decade. In 2015 Zöllner bought Cassens & Plath GmbH of Bremerhaven, a maker of nautical instruments. In 2016 it bought John Lilley & Gillie Ltd., with sites in Newcastle and Birmingham, and the same year it expanded the Kiel headquarters with a new training centre, the ZÖLLNER Academy.[9] The company describes these purchases as taking over the succession of existing businesses in the United Kingdom, Bremerhaven and Büdelsdorf.[10]

Public Safety and the 75th anniversary, 2020 to 2021

In 2020 the group bought Schnoor Industrieelektronik GmbH & Co. KG of Büdelsdorf and set up a third strategic business unit, Public Safety. It also took a stake in EBE Elektrobauelemente GmbH of Leinfelden.[9] When the company marked its 75th anniversary in 2021, Murmann wrote that it had grown from 30 employees in its old Kiel buildings after the 2001 spin-off to almost 400 "in Kiel, in Germany, but also in Europe and on almost every continent". By then it was organised into three strategic business units: Rail, Marine and Public Safety.[9]

In a panel discussion for the anniversary brochure, Kiel's mayor Ulf Kämpfer cited Zöllner's tenfold increase in employees within 20 years as an example of the growth that regional medium-sized firms, rather than large corporations, were achieving. Mathias Schliep, a member of the advisory board, wrote that Murmann had developed the company "in parallel to his various political tasks, with growing turnover and more new workplaces, financially conservative and at the same time actively tackling new opportunities".[9] In 2019 the Kiel Chamber of Industry and Commerce honoured the company as a "world market leader".[9]

Recent years

As of November 2026, the company's website lists Murmann as CEO of ZÖLLNER Signal GmbH. He leads a management team that includes Frank Peters, head of the Rail business unit, and Mathias Reichel, head of the Marine business unit, who are also named with him as managing directors in the company's legal notice.[2][13] The company's current organisation names three business areas: Rail, Marine and Rolling Stock.[14]

In February 2025 Murmann hosted Andrea Nahles, chair of the executive board of the Federal Employment Agency, at the company in Kiel. The visit was organised in his dual capacity as Zöllner's managing partner and UVNord's president, and was followed by talks on skilled-labour shortages and the labour market in Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg.[15] From November 3 to 7, 2025, he represented Zöllner on a delegation trip to Montreal and Toronto commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs, with meetings at Via Rail, Metrolinx and Alstom. He said Canada's rail industry was "in an exciting phase of transformation" in which the company's track warning systems could offer "real added value".[16]

The company celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2026 with a family festival for employees, attended by Schleswig-Holstein's minister-president Daniel Günther.[17] The company's home page quotes Murmann as saying the company works "to prepare a positive platform for coming generations: for safe and innovative jobs, for trust in our products and services, and for life in a modern, safe and forward-looking society".[14]

Bundestag, 2009 to 2017

Murmann first stood for the Bundestag in the 2005 federal election as the CDU candidate in the Kiel constituency, where he took 33.9 percent of the first votes and was not elected.[5] In the 2009 federal election he won the Plön and Neumünster constituency directly with 38.6 percent, and he held it in 2013 with 43.7 percent. He was also tenth on the CDU's Schleswig-Holstein state list in 2009 and eighth in 2013.[5][1]

In the 18th Bundestag (2013 to 2017) he was a full member of the finance committee and a deputy member of the committee on education, research and technology assessment.[1] His parliamentary disclosures for that term list continued paid work as managing director of Zöllner Holding GmbH. His reported monthly income band from it rose from level two to level three in July 2015. The disclosures also list his shareholding in the holding company and his chairmanship of the advisory board of PEKU Folien GmbH, a plastic film maker in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz.[1]

His answers to voters on the abgeordnetenwatch.de platform give some of his positions in that parliament. In February 2016, at the height of the debate over refugee arrivals, he wrote that migrants from North African states were mainly seeking asylum for economic reasons. He also wrote that suspending family reunification for people with subsidiary protection for two years was "right and responsible", because the previous rules had been "too generous" and an "essential incentive" to apply in Germany.[5] In December 2015 he wrote that it would be progress if standard terms and conditions, and laws generally, were easier to understand, "for young people, but also for every citizen in Germany, and also for us members of parliament, who ultimately vote on them".[5]

In July 2016 Murmann announced that he would not stand again after two terms in the Bundestag.[6]

CDU federal treasurer, 2014 to 2022

By May 2014 Murmann was serving as federal treasurer of the CDU, which gave him a seat on the party's presidium, its top leadership body.[7] He was still listed as federal treasurer among his honorary posts in the company's 2021 anniversary brochure.[9] Julia Klöckner took over the post in 2022 and held it until 2025.[8]

UVNord and the BDA, 2021 to present

In 2021 Murmann succeeded Uli Wachholtz, of the Karl Wachholtz publishing house, as president of UVNord (Vereinigung der Unternehmensverbände in Hamburg und Schleswig-Holstein), the umbrella body for employers' and business associations in the two states. UVNord is also the Schleswig-Holstein state representation of the Federation of German Industries (BDI).[4][18] On November 15, 2021, the members' assembly of the Confederation of German Employers' Associations (BDA) in Berlin elected him unanimously to its presidium, where Wachholtz had represented northern German business for more than 10 years.[4] The BDA re-elected him unanimously in October 2023, and he remains on its presidium as of November 2026.[19][20]

On June 6, 2023, UVNord's members' assembly at the Hotel Atlantic in Hamburg re-elected Murmann by a large majority for a further four years. At the time the federation had a record 114 member associations representing more than 100,000 companies.[3] In 2021, by comparison, it had 107 member associations covering more than 66,000 companies.[4] As of November 2026 he remains UVNord's president.[21]

As UVNord president Murmann speaks for the federation on economic and labour policy, mainly through statements and through speeches at its annual events: the New Year reception at the Hotel Atlantic in Hamburg and the Grünkohlessen (kale dinner) at the Kieler Yacht-Club.[22][23]

Public positions as UVNord president

Federal economic and labour policy

Murmann was a frequent critic of the "traffic light" coalition of the SPD, Greens and FDP. In January 2022 he criticised the government's planned federal procurement and collective-agreement compliance law (Tariftreuegesetz) and the planned rise in the minimum wage, arguing that a higher minimum wage would choke efforts to train apprentices and entrench long-term unemployment.[24] Later that month he called the government's COVID-19 quarantine and vaccination-status rules a "clear false start" that left employers without planning or legal certainty.[25] At his re-election in June 2023 he said the coalition's erratic course was unsettling business and that the chancellor's leadership was "unfortunately not recognisable". He also said the defence industry in northern Germany was still waiting for orders from the €100 billion special fund for the Bundeswehr.[3]

In September 2024 he rejected Labour Minister Hubertus Heil's call for a €15 minimum wage, saying it "costs jobs and brings discord into companies". He said he would resist what he saw as a move towards state wage-setting that undermined the independent minimum wage commission.[26] When the coalition collapsed in November 2024, he urged Olaf Scholz to call a confidence vote at once rather than engage in "political delay of insolvency".[27] After the February 2025 federal election he called for an end to what he called a "culture of mistrust towards business". He also said he regretted the strengthening of the extreme fringes, adding that Germany depended on openness to the world and on immigration of skilled workers.[28]

He described the April 2025 coalition agreement between the CDU/CSU and SPD as an expected compromise with "more light than shadow" for northern Germany. He criticised the absence of structural reforms to health, care and pensions, and said rising social contributions would act "like a penalty tax on work".[29] In July 2025 he called the new government's version of the Tariftreuegesetz, drafted by Labour Minister Bärbel Bas, "a bureaucratic law at the wrong time". He argued that it restricted the constitutional right not to join a union or employers' association, and that collective bargaining coverage could only be raised through voluntary, competitive agreements.[30] At the January 2026 New Year reception, attended by about 650 guests, he said Germany had "an implementation problem, not a knowledge problem". He listed labour costs, energy costs, bureaucracy, the welfare state, taxation and political unpredictability as the main problems facing business, and opposed a higher inheritance tax on business assets.[22]

Strikes and protests

Murmann has criticised strikes affecting transport infrastructure. In March 2023 he said that anyone who paralysed the Port of Hamburg and the Kiel Canal with "oversized strikes" was "not fighting for jobs but endangering them".[31] During the train drivers' union (GDL) strikes of March 2024 he called for clear rules on industrial action, including proportionate limits on strikes that heavily affect third parties.[32] In January 2024, after an incident involving Federal Economy Minister Robert Habeck the previous evening, he said such incidents "must in no way be repeated". He called for restraint ahead of protests announced for the following Monday, warning against measures such as sealing off industrial estates.[33]

Infrastructure, defence and regional policy

Transport infrastructure is a recurring theme of his statements, particularly the extension of the A20 motorway with a new crossing of the Elbe. In May 2023 he protested against federal delays to the A20 and A23 projects, warning that they could jeopardise the planned Northvolt battery plant in Heide.[34] When construction of the A20 near Bad Segeberg resumed in May 2026, he said that "after 17 years of standstill" things were finally moving again, and called for "talking with one another" instead of lawsuits.[21]

In July 2023 he welcomed soldiers returning to Kiel from NATO's Enhanced Forward Presence mission in Lithuania, and called for the equipment shortfalls of the armed forces to be resolved.[18] In September 2023, after a consultation on a possible Baltic Sea national park in Schleswig-Holstein, he proposed a "future alliance" to protect the Baltic, describing a national park as the wrong instrument.[35] In Hamburg he opposed the October 2025 referendum proposal for a basic income pilot ("You cannot burn money any better") and called the voters' approval of the city's climate referendum (Zukunftsentscheid) "a mortgage on the future" for industry.[36][37] He has repeatedly called for closer cooperation between Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, including joint regional planning.[38]

Leadership and management style

Murmann's published comments about running Zöllner stress family ownership, independence and steady growth. In his introduction to the 2021 anniversary brochure he attributed the company's development to "the freedom of independence", an "innovative spirit" and its role as a reliable partner. He described the five values Customer focus, Innovation, Trust, Responsibility and Independence as the company's guiding principles, which it says were defined jointly.[9][12] The company says it leads "in teams and by example", with communication based on appreciation, transparency, trust and respect.[2]

He has publicly addressed succession. In the 2021 anniversary interview he said he would remain CEO until 2030. He said the generational transition would "certainly look somehow different than in the generations before", because the culture of family businesses was changing and a larger company needed "a shareholder structure or culture that will continue to support the company". He also said the company wanted to keep growing and might build "a fourth pillar".[9]

He links the company's growth to its location and to cooperation with universities. He cited Kiel's technology companies, the University of Kiel, the University of Applied Sciences and the regional rail technology cluster as advantages, and noted that many students write their theses at the company.[9] The company funds a Deutschlandstipendium scholarship each year.[9]

Major deals and strategic decisions

  • 2001: split of the family company. The automotive and test bench business (AVL) was separated, and Murmann took over the signalling business with about 30 employees.[9]
  • 2002 to 2012: international subsidiaries. Zöllner set up subsidiaries in the United Kingdom (2002), France (2006), Spain, Poland and Australia (2012), and bought Track Warning AB in Sweden (2005).[9][12]
  • 2009: new headquarters. The company built a new and larger headquarters in Kiel-Moorsee after selling its historical site.[9]
  • 2015: Cassens & Plath. Zöllner bought the Bremerhaven nautical instrument maker.[9]
  • 2016: John Lilley & Gillie and the ZÖLLNER Academy. It bought the British marine business and expanded the Kiel headquarters with a training centre.[9]
  • 2020: Schnoor and Public Safety. It bought Schnoor Industrieelektronik in Büdelsdorf, created the Public Safety business unit and took a stake in EBE Elektrobauelemente.[9]

No purchase prices for these transactions have been published.

Financial and market performance

Zöllner is privately held and does not publish detailed financial results. Headcount is the main published measure of its growth under Murmann. The signalling department had 21 employees and about €3.5 million in turnover in 1995.[9] The business had about 30 employees after the 2001 split.[9] Murmann's Bundestag biography from the 2013 to 2017 term put the group at 140 employees, with subsidiaries in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Poland and Brazil.[1] By 2021 it had close to 400 employees.[9] Ulrich Matthiesen wrote in 2021 that turnover and headcount had "multiplied" since 2001, and the advisory board described the company's finances under Murmann as "conservative".[9] The company says more than 7,500 marine customers worldwide use its products.[14]

Personal life

Murmann is married and has four children. He is an Evangelical Lutheran.[1] In a greeting in Zöllner's anniversary brochure, the head of the German Railway Industry Association noted that "in the Murmann family, as is well known, a passion for sailing is a tradition".[9] The company has long given the starting signal for Kiel Week with one of its horns, and in 2026 it supported Kiel's bid to host Olympic sailing events as a silver partner of the city's "JO" campaign.[17][40]

Philanthropy

No personal donations by Murmann have been reported. To mark its 80th anniversary in 2026, the company he leads ran a donation campaign in which employees voted for five social and maritime projects in the Kiel region. The Hospiz Kieler Förde, a hospice, received the largest share, €3,621, and the SEALEVEL exhibition centre in Kiel received €2,016.[41]
