Klar becomes managing director at Roland Umschlag

05.02.2026

BREMEN. On January 1, 2026, Hendrik Klar, previously authorized signatory, succeeded Christoph Holtkemper as the new managing director of the Bremen intermodal terminal and rail operator Roland Umschlagsgesellschaft. The 38-year-old is very familiar with the company, having started there 20 years ago and worked his way up over the years. After managing the empty container depot, he devoted himself to building up the transport department over the past decade. The graduate transport specialist (DAV) has set himself the goal of further expanding the company’s own train systems despite bottlenecks in the rail network and fierce price competition from trucks. Klar’s predecessor, Christoph Holtkemper, had been managing the company’s business since 2000.
