Historical
Foundation and first years
The WEVG was founded in 1940. The initiative to found the WEVG came from the Reichswerke at the time, because the company needed a partner who could supply the people to be settled with water and energy outside the factory boundaries. In the new economic area of Watenstedt-Salzgitter, experts came across one of the largest German iron ore deposits in Germany three years earlier. The planning of a steelworks was perfect and the construction of the state-owned Reichswerke AG for ore mining and ironworks Hermann Göring (emerged from today's Salzgitter AG ) had already begun.
Many thousands of homes should be built for the workers and their families as quickly as possible. After the first construction phase of the Reichswerke in Salzgitter was completed, the WEVG was founded on February 17, 1940 in Berlin, the seat of the headquarters of the Reichswerke AG. The location of the new company was Watenstedt. The company, which got the name Wasser- und Energieversorgungsgesellschaft mbH Göringwerke , was commissioned to set up and implement the water and gas supply.
Four engineers, 16 craftsmen and nine merchants began their work on February 17, 1940 on an assigned former farm in Watenstedt. The construction of the supply networks for coke oven gas from the Reichswerk and drinking water began in Lebenstedt and Gebhardshagen. In 1941, WEVG took over the first water supply network from the then housing company. At that time, 2,801 households were supplied with drinking water. Due to the war-related shortage of workers, especially skilled workers, and building materials, the expansion of the supply networks was slow. By the summer of 1944, 69 kilometers of supply lines and 11 kilometers of house connection lines had been laid under the most difficult conditions.
post war period
In April 1945 the American army occupied the city, the gas supply was stopped - and only temporarily resumed on July 1, 1946 when Ruhrgas was purchased. After Germany's surrender in 1945 and in the first post-war years, the future of the city of Salzgitter and the WEVG was uncertain. Eventually the Reichswerke should be dismantled. That would have put an abrupt end to all city and supply planning; It was not until 1951 that the ironworks began to be rebuilt.
In 1952 the supply of liquefied gas (Salzgitter gas) took place. The Salzgitter gas community was founded on April 27, 1967. The city of Salzgitter officially transfers the water supply to the WEVG; Until then, this had been carried out by the WEVG as part of a framework agreement. From 1988 the city of Salzgitter is no longer a direct shareholder, but the newly founded Versorgungs- und Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH Salzgitter (VVS), which is 100% owned by the city of Salzgitter. In 1995 the ASG, Abwasserentsorgung Salzgitter was founded and in 1999 there was the first concession contract for the supply of natural gas outside the city area
After 2000
In 2000 the city sold 5% of the shares to Avacon and Thüga . VVS retains 90% of the shares. In 2002, Preussag Immobilien took over the heating division. 2004 Thüga retires as a partner; the shares will be transferred to Avacon (10% in total). In 2005, the supply of district heating from the Salzgitter Flachstahl power plant was taken over; In 2008, the shares and the company name changed: Avacon will hold 50.2% of WEVG in the future and will bring electricity to the company: WEVG has been the electricity supplier in Salzgitter since January 1, 2008; The new name of the company is WEVG Salzgitter. In July 2010 the corporation WEVG Salzgitter GmbH becomes the partnership WEVG Salzgitter GmbH & Co. KG.
