The Ministry of Economics, Energy, Building, Housing and Transport of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia , abbreviated MWEBWV NRW , was a ministry in the state administration of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia . It was dissolved with the formation of the government in 2012 and divided into the Ministry for Building, Housing, Urban Development and Transport and the Ministry for Economy, Energy, Industry, SMEs and Crafts , today's Ministry of Economics in North Rhine-Westphalia (since 2017 Ministry for Economy, Innovation, Digital and Energy ).

history

The department went back to the economics, reconstruction and transport ministries of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, all three of which were founded in 1946. Over the years these have been partially merged in different constellations, separated again and expanded to include additional areas of responsibility. From 2010 to 2012 there was only one single ministry for the first time, which was responsible for economy, construction and transport at the same time.

tasks

The duties of the Ministry of Economy, Energy, Building, Housing and Transport were

the creation of optimal framework conditions for the economy in NRW,
strengthening North Rhine-Westphalia as an innovative, promising and attractive business location,
the preservation of North Rhine-Westphalia as the energy center of Germany,
securing energy supplies and
the supervision of the state office for road construction (also called state traffic office).

In addition, as the state planning authority, the ministry was responsible for the balanced use of land in the state.

The ministry was based in Düsseldorf . At the head of the ministry were Minister Harry Voigtsberger ( SPD ) and the (civil servant) State Secretary Günther Horzetzky . With the dissolution of the state parliament, the activities of the parliamentary state secretary for transport Horst Becker ( Greens ) ended automatically.

Industrial sectors, foreign trade
Economic and structural development, medium-sized companies
