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.

  • Multidisciplinary

    The world of business is a complex one – especially when it comes to processes and directives that can make or break a company. At Möhrle Happ Luther, we work in multidisciplinary teams so that all important aspects are factored in from the outset. And this results in integral concepts and business models that are tailored to your individual needs.

  • Dedicated

    We are forward-looking in our work, constantly seeking out new opportunities and anticipating challenges. The first important step is to help you define realistic objectives. This means prioritizing the individual steps and letting you know in good time – and in great detail – whenever we see the need to take action.

  • Experienced in all areas

    From valuations, accounting, privacy policy, finance, M&A and corporate law to challenges in the fields of insolvency, assets and succession planning, you will have our vast experience at your disposal for all legal, business and tax questions. We also provide our experts with ongoing training to keep their consulting skills up to date at all times.

United in excellence:
an award-winning team.

Dedicated – to what really matters

We believe in good relationships. Not just with our clients, but also with our neighborhood, city and region – engaging with them, getting involved and giving something back. This is why we actively support social, ecological and cultural projects that are particularly close to our hearts.

  • Laptops, smartphones, and a Möhrle Happ Luther bag

    Laptops and smartphones for the Alsterdorf Foundation

    From buying tickets to making bank transfers, our everyday lives are becoming increasingly digital. People with disabilities often face particular challenges. The Alsterdorf assistenz ost foundation aims to break down these barriers with its ‘Digitalisation for all’ project. We were pleased to support this important work with a donation in the form of laptops, iPhones and tablets – for more independent participation in (digital) life.

  • Möhrle Happ Luther fördert die Trösteteddys der Kinderhilfe Diekholz

    Teddy bears for Kinderhilfe Diekholzen

    It can be a very unsettling experience for children to suddenly find themselves alone in an ambulance or emergency room, in some cases even without their parents. We support children’s charity Diekholzen, which supplies hospitals, children’s homes, children’s hospices and ambulances with special teddy bears to provide children with comfort and welcome distraction during these difficult moments.

  • Möhrle Happ Luther Tüten mit Weihnachtsgeschenken als Teil der Weihnachtswunschaktion mit der Philip Breuel Stiftung

    Christmas Wish Campaign with the Philip Breuel Foundation

    One of the aims of the Philip Breuel Foundation is to help children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds through art and creativity. Every year, we support the Christmas Wish Campaign for the children in the foundation’s art club. The children’s wish lists are sent directly to us and we buy them whatever they need, be it glitter pens, coloring books, snow globes or footballs. And the highlight of each year is when the children pay us their Christmas visit at our Brandstwiete offices, where there are gifts and goodies galore!

  • Unternehmerinitiative Wirtschaft und Musik

    Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival

    SHMF covers a wider area than almost any other festival in the world – with concerts in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, Lower Saxony and Denmark – and is known for its excellent venues and outstanding artists. We sponsor this exceptional music event as part of the Unternehmerinitiative Wirtschaft und Musik initiative and, needless to say, join in the fun ourselves – every year, we visit concerts together with our clients.

  • Bio-Kartoffeln für die Hamburger Tafel

    Organic potatoes for Hamburger Tafel food bank

    Food banks all over Germany are crying out for help, and Hamburg is no exception. The increased cost of living means that more and more people no longer have enough money for a square meal. To help out, organic farm Hof Darzau – which belongs to the family of our partner Dr. Frauke Schmidt – donated three tonnes of organic potatoes to the Hamburger Tafel food bank. Möhrle Happ Luther sent a team to help sort the potatoes on the conveyor belt and covered the cost of transporting them to the food banks.

  • Möhrle Happ Luther ist Green Forest Fund Supporter

    Three examples of sustainability

    Our company sets great store by sustainability and respect for natural resources. We integrate this conviction throughout our everyday working life, as demonstrated by the following three examples:

    • Our building in Hamburg has a gold certification from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).
    • Operational mobility, energy-efficient construction and sustainable sourcing: Möhrle Happ Luther is a recognized member of the UmweltPartnerschaft Hamburg.
    • We donated 95 trees to the Green Forest Fund in 2023. Best of all, the trees are already an impressive size and are guaranteed not to be felled.
  • Acht kleine Saftflaschen in einer Holzkiste. Von dem solzialen Projekt "Das Geld hängt an den Bäumen".

    Healthy juices for a good cause

    We buy delicious juices for our team from a social project called ‘Das Geld hängt an den Bäumen’ – literally: Money Grows On Trees. Here, people with disabilities and volunteers harvest fruit from trees in and around Hamburg that would otherwise be left unpicked. The fruit – from private gardens and orchards – is then used to make naturally cloudy juices and spritzers. The project aims to bring people with disabilities and those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds into the workforce.
