Amelie Endhart

About

From the workshop out into the world, and back again.

I grew up in a family craft business, was the first in my family to earn the Abitur (Germany’s university-entrance diploma), and have traveled through 34 countries with a backpack and on a motorcycle. Today I’m studying two subjects at once and helping small businesses through change. Here’s how it all fits together.

  1. Chapter 1 · Roots

    Growing up between glass, job sites and the office

    My parents founded Glaserei Endhart, a glazing business in Bavaria’s Pfaffenwinkel region, more than 30 years ago. At our house, work and family were never separate. Around the kitchen table we talked about quotes, employees and customers, and I saw early on what it takes to build something of your own: courage, perseverance and a lot of hard work.

    No one in our family had gone to university before. Still, my parents always encouraged me to find my own way. That taught me to go out and find opportunities myself. I still pitch in at the business today, in the office just as much as on the job site.

  2. Chapter 2 · Curiosity

    Always looking a little beyond my own backyard

    Even in school, I wanted to see more than my class schedule. I organized a two-month exchange to Paris on my own, got to attend lectures at LMU Munich through the “Unitag” program for gifted students, and was student council president in my final year.

    What shaped me most was the project seminar “School without Racism – Intercultural Communication,” with a study trip to Sarajevo. Remembrance culture, religion, dialogue: ever since, I haven’t been able to let go of the question of how people from very different backgrounds can get along well. That’s why I still go to conferences at the Akademie für Politische Bildung (Academy for Civic Education) in Tutzing on a regular basis.

  3. Chapter 3 · Setting out

    A year I earned myself

    After the Abitur, I deliberately chose not to go straight to university. I worked full-time in production at Hochland and used the money to pay for my travels: Southeast Asia with a backpack, India solo on a motorcycle, then four weeks and about 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) through Morocco, all planned by myself.

    On the road, you quickly learn to solve problems without a plan B, to understand a lot with only a few words, and to open up to strangers. I came back more independent and with a clearer idea of what I want.

  4. Chapter 4 · Arriving

    Understanding business, understanding people

    I’ve been studying business administration in Kempten since 2024, and I’ve realized that the most interesting questions in companies are almost always human ones. That’s why I added a distance-learning degree in communication psychology in 2025.

    I receive the Deutschlandstipendium (a national merit scholarship) for my academic performance, I was part of the Schwaben Innovation Masterclass, including a module abroad in Bergamo, and this semester I started supporting lecturers at my university as an AI tutor.

  5. Chapter 5 · Doing

    Something of my own that matters

    In 2026 I founded Lech-Impuls. I help small businesses with succession, staffing decisions and change – the very issues I know from my own family. On the side, I’m building digital products, from an online workshop to my own apps.

    What drives me is what my parents always lived by: roll up your sleeves, take responsibility, and don’t forget to enjoy life along the way.

What I stand for

  • “To me, education is the key to a self-determined life.”
  • “I want to build something that’s meaningful, both professionally and personally.”
  • “Other cultures broaden your perspective. Openness and respect matter more today than ever.”
  • “Work hard, play hard. I learned that at home.”

Motorcycles

Motorcycles have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve mostly ridden a BMW F 650 GS, an R 1150 R and a Royal Enfield Himalayan. I do minor repairs myself.

Travel

Ideally to places where I don’t speak the language. I get around Europe and the Balkans a lot, and I’ve also been to Indonesia, Colombia and India, where I rode solo on a motorcycle.

Languages

German, English at C1 level, French and Spanish, plus the Großes Latinum (an advanced Latin certificate).

Community

Political conferences in Tutzing, the Wirtschaftsjunioren Landsberg (a network of young business leaders) and lots of conversations with people who think differently than I do.
