Arrange TYPO3 content more easily and in a more structured way ---------------------------------------------------------------- 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. TYPO3 DNA in extension form ----------------------------- Achim’s approach has always been pragmatic: **focusing on clean, lightweight code, clear interfaces, and predictable core behaviour rather than** creating another layout engine. The result is an extension that feels like a natural part of TYPO3 itself, not an add-on. This is why the Container Extension is now widely used across the community—it solves a real problem **without creating new ones.** ![Achim winning the Award "Best TYPO3 Extension" in 2025](https://b13.com/fileadmin/_processed_/0/e/csm_IMG_1303_926fd891d0.webp) Achim Fritz and Olivier Dobberkau Open source with heart! ------------------------- 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**. A well-deserved moment! ------------------------- 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.
