The Körber logo: Rings that connect

Two intertwined rings with the words "KÖRBER" in the middle – the Körber logo has been around for more than forty years. Nevertheless, it not only has a decades-long tradition, but also a symbolic meaning. As Group founder Kurt A. Körber once described it, it expresses the existential connection of the Körber Group and all companies belonging to it with the Körber-Stiftung and its societal activities.

The now modernized logo with its two intertwined rings still stands for the Körber Group and its existential connection with the Körber-Stiftung.

Wondering how to correctly pronounce the German umlaut in the name Körber? Our colleague Sybille explains it in this funny video. 😉
