„One day, the dream is for one caravan to be completed – and sold – each and every day.“

Harald Striewski, 1967

The vision of Harald Striewski, the founder of the Hobby company, has long been a reality – and has exceeded all expectations. Hobby is the most popular caravanning brand in Europe. More than 15,000 vehicles a year leave the factory in Fockbek on their way to every corner of Europe and beyond.

As the company’s success grows, so too does the number of employees. Today, Hobby is one of the largest employers in northern Germany. Below you will find even more facts and figures about the company.
