Real hammer: New awards for 500 companies in Hamm!

On April 29, 2025, the expansion of the network of "real hammer" companies was celebrated again in Hamm. As part of the event in the Pohl’s Mühle coffee manufacturer, nine new companies were awarded the coveted seal. Among the new award winners are the AS Kommunalservice, the Zirkwitz car, as well as the practice for orthopedics and trauma surgery by Dr. Claudia Pruchhorst.

The project managers Andrea Kulßa from the city of Hamm and Cathrin Feldhaus von Impuls accompanied the award. The enactment of the "real hammer" Siegel takes place according to a strict selection process, which includes the voluntary commitment of the company for their city, well -trained employees: inside, an appealing external appearance, family friendliness and the personal connection of applicants to the excellent companies.

growing network

In total, the network now comprises almost 500 companies. This illustrates the strong identification of the citizens with their city and the desired location. The real hammer initiative creates a platform that promotes the exchange between companies and the community.

The success of the project is also based on the committed partners of the initiative. These include the Chamber of Commerce in Dortmund, the Dortmund Chamber of Crafts, and the NRW Westfalen-Münsterland trade association. This cooperation enables the excellent companies to promote their location and strengthen the citizenship for local products and services.

identification with home

The real hammer initiative makes a valuable contribution to the identification of citizens with Hamm. Citizens can show their local connection through products and services that carry the real hammer seal. In many places, from buildings to open spaces to local specialties, identification with the city is promoted.

The citizens have the opportunity to help not only their favorite operation, but to the entire city by conscious purchase decisions when visiting these companies. "Customers can strengthen the location by conscious purchase or use of services for excellent companies," explains the initiative.
