Höfner guitars in the 2010s

Through the 2010s, Klaus Schöller and Ulrike Schrimpff (Höfner management buyout owners, 2004-2026; holding vehicle name unverified) controlled the Höfner name, and 2 plants built it: Hofner Beijing, Shunyi and Hofner Hagenau (Baiersdorf).^{[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]}

2 eras touch the 2010s across 2 lines. Nothing changed inside the decade, so every Höfner from these years is the same version on its line.
