TYPO3 Awards: Container Extension wins “Best TYPO3 Extension”

With the Container Extension, Achim created a way to organise content in a modular and visual manner without breaking the system’s logic. Editors can clearly group and structure content, while integrators retain complete control over markup and templates.

The extension works closely with the TYPO3 core without adding unnecessary complexity or abstraction layers. It simply uses what TYPO3 already provides in the best possible way.

If you know Achim, you know he doesn’t talk much about open source (or at all)—he lives it. He writes code, documents features, reviews pull requests, answers questions on the TYPO3 Slack channel, and regularly contributes to the core. Within the community, he’s affectionately known as the “Container Guy“, a nickname that reflects the deep ties between his work and TYPO3 itself.

The Container Extension is just one example of his ongoing commitment over the years. This award is not only recognition of a piece of software, but also a tribute to his dedication, technical excellence, and community spirit.

Here at b13, we are proud to have Achim on our team!
And we are even prouder that his work improves so many TYPO3 projects around the world.

Congratulations, Achim!
And a big thank you to the TYPO3 community for showing, once again, that open source doesn’t just work—it inspires.
