Overview
Allguth is a medium-sized German mineral oil company and fuel-station operator headquartered in Gräfelfing, Bavaria, with its roots in Munich. Founded in 1958 by brothers Willy and Fritz Amberger together with Alfred Krapf, the company opened its first filling station on Schillerstraße in Munich. Over the following decades it grew into a regional network of service stations, car washes and beverage markets, and today describes itself as a Munich family business with around 30 stations in Munich and the surrounding region. Allguth's stations combine fuel retailing with a broad convenience offer. Alongside petrol and diesel, the company operates beverage markets (Getränkemärkte), car washes, food service (Gastronomie), and shops selling regional products and everyday goods. Many locations provide additional services such as ATMs, lottery counters, parcel and postal services, crushed ice, and 24-hour operations. The company positions itself on attractive prices, environmentally friendly car washes, regional products, quality food, and an extra portion of service, often delivered with a wink. Its distinctive station architecture is a deliberate part of the brand identity. Allguth has also been a pioneer in alternative fuels and sustainability. In 1983 its Von-Kahr-Straße branch was the first station in Munich to introduce unleaded petrol, and in 2017, in cooperation with Linde, it opened its first own hydrogen filling station. The company states an ambition to be an active co-designer of the energy and transport transition. In 2012 the head office moved from Munich to Gräfelfing. Between 2021 and 2024 the entrepreneurs behind Allguth converted a long-vacant former heating plant in Munich-Aubing into the Bergson Kunstkraftwerk art and culture centre, operated by Bergson GmbH. As a family-owned Mittelstand business, Allguth is not listed on a stock exchange. It has been repeatedly recognised as a top employer, and its beverage markets have expanded into wine and sparkling wine ranges, including an annual "wine of the year" and Crémant offerings. The brand remains closely tied to the Munich region, where it operates most of its stations and serves both motorists and local shoppers.
History
Allguth was founded in 1958 by brothers Willy and Fritz Amberger together with Alfred Krapf, who opened a filling station on Schillerstraße in Munich. The company grew steadily as a regional fuel retailer in Bavaria. In 1983, its branch on Von-Kahr-Straße in Munich became the first station in the city to introduce unleaded petrol, marking an early commitment to more environmentally friendly fuels. In 2012, the company moved its headquarters from Munich to Gräfelfing. In 2017, in cooperation with Linde, Allguth opened its first own hydrogen filling station, extending its pioneering role into alternative drivetrains. Between 2021 and 2024, the entrepreneurs behind Allguth converted a long-vacant former heating plant in Munich-Aubing into the Bergson Kunstkraftwerk, an art and culture centre operated by Bergson GmbH with managing directors Matthias Altmann and Michael Amberger. Today Allguth operates around 30 stations in Munich and the surrounding region, combining fuel retail with beverage markets, car washes, food service, and a wide range of convenience services. The company remains family-owned and describes itself as a Munich family business.
