History

In 1972 Günther Fielmann established the first store in Cuxhaven. In 1981, Fielmann negotiated an agreement with the Esens statutory health insurance company which allowed a larger selection of frames to be added to the portfolio for patients covered by the insurance.[4]

Fielmann has been listed on the stock exchange since 1994.[5] On 6 January 2009 Fielmann's stock indexing advanced from SDAX to MDAX.[6]

Since 2019, Marc Fielmann has been the sole CEO of the company, succeeding his father Günther Fielmann.[7]

Other activities

Fielmann plants a tree for every employee every year.[8] In 2009, chancellor Angela Merkel, minister-president Peter Harry Carstensen and Günther Fielmann planted the one-millionth tree in Büdelsdorf.[9]
