Shopware’s history

During the dotcom crisis, 16-year-old Stefan Hamann founded Hamann-Media GmbH in Münsterland in 2001. His brother Sebastian soon joined him, merging technology and design – a key element in the company's success. Despite development, the core values remained the same: open, authentic, visionary.
