Our team has grown: we cordially welcome Bernhard Zirngibl on board the ASSD team and look forward to working with him.
Bernhard has been supporting us since April 1, 2026 as Customer Success Manager in onboarding our new customers and supporting our existing customers.
With his experience in consulting and customer service for companies with complex software systems, he will be a perfect addition to our team.
We wish you a great start and much success with the upcoming projects!
The annual conference and general meeting of the Heavenly Hostels took place in Pappenheim from March 17-19, 2026.
ASSD had the opportunity to present our software and technologies to the 300 members at the conference.
We would like to thank you for the invitation, the many interesting discussions and the stimulating exchange.
The heavenly hostels (we absolutely adore their name) describe themselves as follows:
The Heavenly Hostels are an association of guesthouses that maintain a Christian profile. If you are planning a trip, you are sure to find the right room in one of the Heavenly Hostels, whether you are looking for a cozy self-catering house, a youth hostel, a family recreation center, a conference house or a hotel.
They are often located in special places and are often perceived as “places of power” that are good for body and soul.
Thank you Pappenheim and thank you dear Himmlische Herbergen for the warm welcome and the great conversations. See you next time!
50+ (and some of us feel that :-)) is not old. On the contrary: 30 years of experience, a cool head in crises and a huge network are priceless.
At best, you have learned on your journey towards 50+ that true strength lies in combining experience with curiosity and continuing to learn every day – especially from the young talents in the team.
We at ASSD are a very stable, reliable mixed-age team and everyone benefits from the know-how and expertise of the others. It’s a wonderfully effective exchange and a fantastic way to work together.
Many thanks to the entire ASSD team from the 50+ Claudia

In July, ASSD moved into new, additional offices and inaugurated them in style. On the one hand with bread and salt to ensure happiness and success in the future and on the other, of course, with Prosecco.
We used the following day for a team excursion. During a professional guided tour of Munich’s wholesale market halls, we learned a lot about the central hub for fruit and vegetables as well as about the food itself.
We then satisfied our appetite with veal sausage and pretzels. A worthy, typically Bavarian conclusion for our great team.
A few impressions from the inauguration party and our team outing

Participation of ASSD GmbH in the Youth Travel Congress 2025 of the German Youth Travel Association in Berlin.
As a sponsor of the non-profit Munich association Lesefüchse e.V., ASSD GmbH was invited to take part in its 17th reading festival as an honorary reader.
The event took place at the Grünwald Forest Experience Center, just outside Munich. 200 children from various elementary school traveled to the event and spent a wonderful morning in and with nature.
Claudia Stolz read from Marianne Hofmann’s book “Die kleine Birke” on behalf of ASSD. Other sponsors and honorary readers were the St. Michaelsbund media house and the Munich police, who were the absolute highlight for the children with several chief marshals, a chief inspector and the vice president as well as the reading fox.
Language is the basis of everything we do (not just programming languages :-)). That is why it is very important to us to awaken a love of books, reading and stories.
