The SchwörerHaus KG (proper spelling: "SchwörerHaus") is a German manufacturer of prefabricated houses . The family company, founded in 1950 by Hans Schwörer, has its headquarters in Hohenstein-Oberstetten on the Swabian Alb.
The company sells around 800 to 1,000 houses annually, produces them at its headquarters and erects them in Germany, Switzerland and neighboring European countries. The company employs around 1,350 people and has over 80 trainees in 18 different professions.
Wooden prefabricated houses
The product range includes single-family houses and semi-detached houses as well as mini houses (so-called FlyingSpaces) and multi-family houses in energy-saving timber construction that are implemented as passive houses. The houses are manufactured at the company location in Hohenstein-Oberstetten. Schwörer houses are produced according to the criteria of the European eco-audit (" EMAS "). The plant itself is certified according to DIN EN 14001 .
History and Development
The history of the Schwörer prefabricated house began in 1950 with the foundation of Hans Schwörer KG Baustoffhandel by Hans Schwörer in Sigmaringen . 1954 followed the construction of the factory in Veringenstadt - today Kastell GmbH . The Hohenstein-Oberstetten plant was established in 1956 on the Swabian Alb and is now the headquarters of Schwörer Haus KG .
Schwörer bought the plant in Schömberg, in which precast concrete parts for commercial and commercial construction were manufactured, and at the same time expanded the plant in Hohenstein-Oberstetten with a new production hall and a sawmill.
From 1962 onwards, Hans Schwörer pursued the idea of developing prefabricated houses. His brother, the wood engineer Artur Schwörer, supported his idea. The construction phase of the first house was time-consuming - the development phase was completed in the winter of 1964/1965 and the first model houses were built in Hohenstein-Oberstetten in 1966/67.
The quarry near Haigerloch-Stetten was bought in 1968 - today Schwörer Bausysteme . A little later, the production of precast concrete parts for cellar construction started in Veringenstadt and a factory for the manufacture of houses with clinker facades was purchased in Simmern.
In 1970 the number of 100 houses built was exceeded, in 1972 there were over 200 and in 1980 already over 850 houses. For this reason, the production hall for prefabricated houses in Hohestein-Oberstetten was expanded at the same time, a second sawmill was built and a new boiler system was installed in the cogeneration plant with a heating output of seven megawatts. In addition, in 1980 house production was expanded to include a hall section for tiling bathroom and kitchen walls, as well as a carpentry shop - for the manufacture of furniture panels, among other things.
In the early 1990s, the company opened a customer center with in-house sampling at the headquarters in Oberstetten and in Coswig . A little later the construction of the first biomass cogeneration plant (with 3.4 megawatts since 1996), a glulam hall and a finishing line for roof parts and ceiling elements followed.
In 2001 the biomass cogeneration plant (5.76 megawatts) was expanded and three years later the new works access for trucks and suppliers on the B312 was completed. The inauguration of the new production hall for wood products and the expansion of the sorting and stacking system in the sawmill took place in 2006. In 2013, the conversion of Hans Schwörer's former home into an office building with a new customer reception was completed.
At the beginning of the prefabricated house production, Schwörer houses were only sold in the vicinity of approx. 200-300 kilometers. This distance then increased to a radius of around 500 kilometers and finally to the whole of Germany. In 1988 Schwörer opened the first houses in Switzerland. In the following years, the delivery radius increased further, so that houses are now being built in Italy, Austria, France, Spain, Luxembourg and Great Britain.
Over time, model houses were built all over Germany. Today there are around 50 model houses in Germany and one in Suhr in Switzerland.
