In 1815 city gas lighting was operated for the first time in the city area. In 1858 the inner-city gas supply was expanded. In 1887 the water works were founded and in 1906 the electricity works were founded. 1923 was the founding of the Greifswald municipal works. These municipal works included the water and electricity works, a gas works, an asphalt works and later the slaughterhouse, the theater and a bathing establishment. Between 1949 and 1953, the German Economic Commission for the Soviet Occupation Zone transferred the municipal works to central administration on the basis of the ordinance on the reorganization of the energy industry in the Soviet occupation zone (Energy Ordinance) of June 22, 1949.

Local self-government was made possible again by the law of May 17, 1990. The citizens of the university and Hanseatic city of Greifswald decided on June 20, 1990 to re-establish the Greifswalder Stadtwerke.
