The Wirtschaftsbetriebe der Stadt Norden GmbH is a municipal service company that is fully supported by the City of Norden . Its services include the supply of electricity, natural gas, district heating and drinking water. The commercial enterprises also operate the baths in the city of Norden and are responsible for tourism. The city of Norden is the sole shareholder of the GmbH.

history

The municipal utilities were originally run by the city administration. The official seat was in the town hall. In 1966, the city acquired the former municipal hospital as an office for its own operation. On December 19, 1972, Kurbetriebs GmbH was founded as the successor to the previous association. On May 15, 1973, the existing supply company was converted into Stadtwerke Norden GmbH. At the same time, the business operations of the city of Norden GmbH were founded, to which the shares of the two GmbHs were transferred and acted as a holding company. The company grew in 1976 by expanding the concession area for water in Hage and in 1983 by expanding the concession area for electricity. In 1984 the administration building on Feldstrasse was rebuilt and expanded.

A reorganization took place in 2004. The two companies Kurbetriebs GmbH and Wirtschaftsbetriebe der Stadt Norden GmbH were merged into Stadtwerke Norden GmbH. Stadtwerke Norden GmbH changed its name and was given the new name Wirtschaftsbetriebe der Stadt Norden GmbH . Stadtwerke Norden continues to appear as a service brand with its own website.

Gas supply

In 1967 the gas supply in Norden began with its own gas works.

Power supply

Enercon E-16 in the north

Electrification took place on March 10, 1914. In a contract between the city of Norden and the overland control center Wiesmoor , the city of Norden secured a supply of electricity. On June 5, 1914, AEG Berlin received an order to build a distribution network in the north. On October 1, 1915, the city also took over the transfer stations in the city and the substations for connection to the Avacon network . On October 1, 1943, the contracts were transferred via the EWE (formerly Energieversorgung Weser-Ems).

The power grid was continuously expanded. In 1983 the public utilities took over the concession and the power grid in the Ostermarsch (north) for 2.1 million DM . On December 2, 1987, the first wind farm known under the name Nörder Windloopers was opened on Fledderweg . Five wind turbines of 55  kW each were built for around 1.1 million DM. The wind farm was dismantled at the beginning of 2019 after 31 years.

Water supply

On June 30, 1938, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a waterworks in Hage took place at a planned cost of RM 600,000 . The scheduled commissioning took place on August 2, 1939. In 1969 the waterworks in Hage had to be expanded, and in 1975 the waterworks was rebuilt at the old location. This was the basis for taking over the water supply in Hage. On April 29, 1976, the new waterworks was officially opened, and on May 10, 1976 the first concession agreement between the municipal utilities and the municipality of Hage for water supply was concluded.

tourism

In 1813 RW Seeberg on Norddeich offered cold and warm drinks. In 1905 a group of citizens founded the Kurverein Norden-Norddeich eV In 1962 it was converted into a special-purpose association, since the two communities took over the tasks of the association. In 1967 the first beach hall was built on the dike by the association. It was leased to Paula Noormann. In 1972 the Zweckverband became the Kurbetriebs GmbH. Hermann Poppen became the first managing director and spa director. The seat of the company was initially in the old town hall Lintelermarsch (corner of Norddeicher Straße / Hattermannsweg).

After Norddeich was recognized as a coastal resort in 1974, construction of the Haus des Gastes began in 1975 ; the completion took place in 1976. The house was initially operated in-house. In 1986 the new health resort administration center was opened on Däne Weg. In 1991 the tourist information office was established in the new Third Sister building on the market. In 1996 the guest house was redesigned and leased after a renovation. In 2005 the North Tourist Information Office moved to the newly designed market pavilion.

Baths

In 1973, an artificially created seawater bathing pool was built in Norddeich for the first time. On December 17, 1979, the seawater indoor pool was officially opened in Norddeich. In addition to the previous outdoor pool, Norden also had an indoor pool. On March 4, 1988, the commercial enterprises took over the municipal Frisia-Bad and have been operating it ever since.

Business areas

The commercial enterprises are divided into the business areas of supply, tourism and pools. The management consists of the spa director Armin Korok, the commercial director Thorsten Schlamann and the technical director Wolfgang Völz.
