Company history

The Stadtwerke were founded on March 15, 1939. Their main tasks were to supply the city of Wolfsburg with electricity, district heating and water as well as the bus operation. The first office was located on Schachtweg. The workforce on the day it was founded: a plant manager, a typist and four technical employees.

Via the central distribution system on Kleiststrasse, which was completed in 1942, the electricity from the Volkswagen plant's thermal power station was transferred to the municipal utility. In the following years, more electricity was fed in, for example the substation in Detmerode (1964), in Kästorf (1974) and on Daimlerstrasse (1984).

District heating was also supplied via the VW power plant. To this day, Volkswagen has been supplying the Wolfsburg metropolitan area with heat, most of which is generated in combined heat and power plants.

The Heßlingen waterworks went into operation in 1941 with eight wells. Later, the water from the Eckertalsperre met the needs of the growing city. In 1963 the waterworks in Westerbeck began production, in 1977 the waterworks in Ränen .

In September 1940 the transport company was opened with two buses. The first line ran from Steimker Berg via the train station to Fallersleben . In 1975, the Stadtwerke founded Wolfsburger Verkehrs-GmbH (WVG), a wholly-owned subsidiary. Four years later, a commuter traffic line led into the Volkswagen factory for the first time; in 1988 there were already nine. At that time, WVG sold around 6,400 annual tickets to VW employees alone. In 2006, WVG moved from the old depot at the outer bailey to its new premises in Borsigstrasse.

Stadtwerke has been a public company since March 2, 1962. Over the years, the municipal utilities have been given additional tasks that they have now returned to the city of Wolfsburg. This includes the management of the pools (1961 to 1999) and the Eis Arena Wolfsburg (2006 to 2016).
