As the building owner, you have to make many important decisions and keep an eye on the costs.
'Bauherr' (building owner) is made up of 'der Bau' (construction) and 'der Herr' (lord, master). Literally, the building owner is therefore the 'master of the construction,' which describes his responsible role well.
Der Hausherr begrüßte seine Gäste persönlich an der Tür.
The head of the household personally greeted his guests at the door.
The term 'Bauherr' (building owner) refers to a specific legal and economic role in German-speaking countries. It is not just the client, but the person who bears full responsibility for the construction project.
Der Bauherr haftet für die Sicherheit auf seiner Baustelle.
The building owner is liable for safety on his construction site.
A building owner often has to hire an architect or a construction company. The combination 'Bauherr und Architekt' (building owner and architect) is therefore very typical.
Die Bauherren trafen sich regelmäßig mit dem Architekten, um die Pläne zu besprechen.
The building owners met regularly with the architect to discuss the plans.
client
In a construction project, the Auftraggeber can commission the construction, but Bauherr refers to the more specific role. As a Bauherr, a person, company, or institution also bears responsibility for financing and carrying out the construction project. Auftraggeber is the general term, while Bauherr is used for this comprehensive role.
