On January 18, 1898, the original company Schleswig-Holsteinische Landwirtschaftliche Hauptgenossenschaft eGmbH was founded. In 1988 the company was converted into a stock corporation . After the reunification of Germany , the business area was extended to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. On May 20, 2005, the company, now trading as Raiffeisen HaGe , merged with team AG and the Danish dlg . In 2006 the agricultural trading business of Raiffeisen Markt GmbH & Co. KG, Kropp, was incorporated into Raiffeisen HaGe, at the beginning of 2007 HaGe took over the goods business of VR Bank in the Rendsburg district and Raiffeisenbank eG, Bargteheide.
