history

Ball cap or kink bottle from Carl Nebgen Limonadenfabrik Cöln & Hannover

The company was founded by Carl Nebgen in Cologne around 1890 as a bottling plant for seltzer water and lemonades. The filling took place in specially manufactured bottles with ball closures . Nebgen took over 100 drinking halls from two American brothers in 1892 and from then on sold his drinks himself. Little is known about Carl Nebgen as a person.

"..." the "Cologne Büdchen-Bauer. He is the pioneer of the Cologne kiosk landscape, but almost nothing is known of the person Carl Nebgen himself "

He expanded to Hanover and set up his headquarters under the company Carl Nebgen-Mineralwasserfabrik with drinking hall operation on Engelbosteler Damm, but moved to the Klagesmarkt just a year later . At that time, the management was held by Johann Nebgen. Before the outbreak of war in 1918, the company was relocated to Spichernstrasse. Around 1928 Nebgen relocated the company's headquarters to Hanover's Nordstadt, Im Moore 31/32. After the Second World War, the founder's grandson, Carl-Günther Nebgen (born December 21, 1921 in Hanover, died February 18, 1987 in Hanover) becomes managing director. In 1969 an administration building with bottling plants was built in the List on Mengendamm ; the architect was Rolf Wékel . In the early 1970s, sales in the 80 Hanoverian kiosks were still in the millions. In 1979 Nebgen-Verwaltungs GmbH went bankrupt and 26 kiosks could only be continued by founding a rescue company. In 1987 Carl Günther Nebgen died and the remaining kiosks had to close due to the company's insolvency. The parent company Carl Nebgen GmbH u. Co KG went into liquidation on May 25, 1999 and was deleted from the Cologne Commercial Register on February 20, 2002.

"" Nebgen-Stalls "were a Hanoverian institution for decades."
