history
In the city of the KdF-Wagons founded in 1938 - renamed Wolfsburg in 1945 - the Stadtwerke were founded in 1939, and in 1940 they started regular bus service. The first bus line led from the train station with detours to Steimker Berg . A bus line was also set up early on to Fallersleben . In 1944 bus operations had to be stopped again due to the war. In 1975 Stadtwerke Wolfsburg spun off its bus services to the subsidiary Wolfsburger Verkehrs GmbH . For decades, the depot of the municipal utilities and then the WVG was on the street An der Vorburg , it only had to give way for the construction of the Designer Outlets Wolfsburg and in 2006 it had to move to its current location on Borsigstraße in the east industrial area.
