In the course of industrialization , no carbon dioxide plants had been built in Hanover in the 19th century, although Wilhelm Carl Raydt , teacher at the Hanover secondary school , had invented a process for liquefying carbon dioxide as early as 1877. But only after the construction and commissioning of the tram line from Hanover to Hildesheim on March 22, 1899, the carbon dioxide plant in Hanover settled in the then independent municipality of Rethen in 1902 . A separate siding could be laid at the plant in order to enable goods traffic with the Hanoverian tram initially to the goods transfer point Liebfrauenstrasse south of Aegidientorplatz - at the place of today's theater on Aegi .

For a long time the Hanoverian carbon dioxide plant did not have to fear any competition, as it had formed a cartel with other German carbon dioxide plants . The beverage manufacturers and restaurants had to be supplied under the terms of the cartel.

After the First World War , the end of the Weimar Republic through the takeover of the Nazis and the middle of the Second World War, the carbon dioxide plant in Hanover was, at that time as a GmbH made in the course of the war economy in the years 1943-1945 for the industrial dry ice redesigned production. The retrofitting was under the control of the then Reich Commissioner for Chemistry in the Reich Office for Economic Development .

The carbon dioxide plant had already resumed operation at the time of the British zone of occupation , because according to a reference work of the Supreme Court for the British zone from 1948 before the Hanover Regional Court and the Celle Higher Regional Court it was defendant in a legal dispute with a district administrator who received approval after the denied the then law on the development of residential areas .

In the Federal Republic of Germany , the company was one of the sponsors of an information board installed in 1970 and then lost for decades on the history of the then still independent municipality of Rethen. In the text on the carbon dioxide plant in Hanover it was stated that it was "[...] the only one of its kind in Lower Saxony ".

In 1979 the production of liquid carbon dioxide in Rethen was stopped. Instead, in 1995, for example, the plant was supplied daily with natural CO 2 by railroad car , which was stored in tanks of up to 300 tons on the premises before it was transferred to metal bottles. Some customers had their own tanks in the factory yard, some of which were even manufactured in Rethen.

The main buyers of the liquid CO 2 around 1995 were the Gilde Brewery , which supplies restaurants in the Hanover region in particular , and the Hanover Volkswagen factory , which uses CO 2 as a protective gas during welding . The welding training and research institute at Lindener Hafen was also one of the customers.

In addition, in 1995 the carbon dioxide plant in Hanover was still delivering brick-sized white dry ice, which was delivered in boxes filled with chaff . At that time, for example, a theater in Hanover picked up a whole truck full of such boxes from the factory every day. In the same year were part of a guided tour , including two older compression machine shown in the basement of carbonic acid plant, one of which was still in operation.

In 2008, the Kohlensäurewerk Hannover, listed as a cooperative at the Hanover District Court in the cooperative register with the number GnR 260 , was converted into Carbo Kohlensäurewerk Hannover GmbH based on the resolution of the general assembly of August 8 , now in the commercial register under the number HRB 203244 .

The Carbo carbon dioxide plant in Hanover is a member of the Hanover Industry Club .
