The story

From sales
into hospitality.

RockSTR started with a simple observation: the German holiday-rental market is fragmented, technologically behind and full of missed opportunities. With a background in finance, insurance and sales, Hauke Heinen brought the dealmaking mindset the industry didn't have.

Today we run 39 units across seven locations worldwide, take over entire management businesses, and build an operations network that can compete with the major international hospitality brands, and beats them on authenticity.

"We don't think in units.
