history

The company was founded in 1948 as a trucking company, initially only with a carbon Generator - Truck , in 1950 the company bought another eight-tonne trucks added. Due to the high demand for means of transport in the region, truck operations were discontinued in 1954 and bus operations began. The existing trucks were converted for passenger transport, in 1955 a Fleischer touring coach was put into operation, followed by three Ikarus 55s and an Ikarus luxury coach.

Since 1970 the company has also operated a tire service and a car wash.

In the seventies and eighties the number of buses increased from five to twelve. With the turnaround in 1989/90, the company expanded again, the number of employees increased up to fourfold, the Pietzsch company bought low-floor buses as well as numerous coaches and minibuses. In addition to a modern travel company, Der Niederlausitzer is now primarily a partner company in the Berlin-Brandenburg transport association (VBB), which essentially provides urban transport in Lauchhammer and some regional lines in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district .
