History: In 1959, Gerhard Thiede opened an architectural office called Architekturbüro Thiede in Düsseldorf. With its first project being the Protestant Hospital in Mülheim /Ruhr the firm was specializing in buildings for the health sector right from the start. Since Guido Meßthaler joined the firm as a partner in 1987, the architectural office was renamed in "Architekturbüro Thiede, Meßthaler und Partner“. In 1992, Guido Meßthaler and Wolfgang Thiede became co-owners. With Harald Klösges and Michael Keitel being associated among the affiliates in 1995  the firm operates under the name TMK Architekten • Ingenieure. Between 1991 and 1995, further locations were established in Berlin, Leipzig and Erfurt. In 2001, Gabriele Kasper became a co-partner of TMK in Erfurt. At the beginning of 2010, the newest of the TMK offices opened in Kiel. With the merger of TMK Architekten • Ingenieure with HDR Inc. into HDR TMK Planungsgesellschaft mbH in March 2013 the company is becoming the European center of the internationally operating HDR Inc. and by this widening its portfolio with special emphasis on teaching, science and research.
