Ernst Möhrle sets up as an independent auditor in Hamburg in 1928. Just five years later, Dr. Martin Luther opens his lawyer’s office in Berlin. When the profession of tax advisor is officially recognized in 1937, Möhrle is one of the very first of their number. By 1938, he is already a qualified tax consultant and opens a practice with a team of ten employees on Dammtorstrasse.
After the war, Dr. Martin Luther relocates his law practice from Berlin to Hamburg. He advises the German government on the London Debt Agreement.
Ernst Möhrle, Dr. Sigwart Möhrle, Edgar Delfs and Olaf Scharfenberg come together to form Sozietät Möhrle.
Scharfenberg joins the Chamber of German Public Auditors. Dr. Martin Luther, Dr. Erhard Jahn and Werner Hofer also join forces. After Dr. Wilhelm Happ joins, they trade as Luther & Partner.
Sozietät Möhrle becomes part of the international auditing and tax advisory firm Horwath & Horwath (now Crowe Global). In the early 1990s, it expands beyond Hamburg, establishing offices in Berlin and Schwerin. From the end of the decade, the company trades as MDS Möhrle.
Dr. Wilhelm Happ, Hubertus von der Recke, Dr. Martin Luther and Rüdiger Ludwig found the firm Happ Luther.
Pooling their interdisciplinary expertise, MDS Möhrle and Happ Luther merge and begin trading under the name Möhrle Happ Luther.
