Dortmunder Stadtwerke AG is a municipal services and public transport company in Dortmund,[1] wholly owned by the city of Dortmund.[2] It is operating under the brand DSW21 since 2005.[3] The number in the acronym refers to the 21st century.

The development of the company began on June 19, 1857, when the Dortmunder Actien-Gesellschaft für Gasbeleuchtung was founded.[4][5]

Corporate structure

DSW21 holds stakes in a large number of subsidiaries with the business areas of public transportation, energy, telecommunications, information technology (IT), housing and urban development.[6][1] Together with the City of Gelsenkirchen and Stadtwerke Bochum GmbH, DSW21 is thus, for example, the main shareholder of Gelsenwasser AG. DSW21 is active in the following areas or divisions: The housing division promotes urban development in Dortmund. The Stadtkrone Ost development project in Schüren, the Hohenbuschei site, the Lake Phoenix recreational area,[7] and the Westfalentor project deserve special mention.[6][8] However, the housing division also includes DOGEWO21, a municipal housing association with over 16,000 apartments in Dortmund.[9] The mobility and logistics division includes the transport division of DSW21 with over 1900 employees. However, it also includes the Port of Dortmund and the Dortmund suspension railway H-Bahn.[10] The Dortmund Airport is co-owned by the city of Dortmund (26%) and Dortmunder Stadtwerke AG (74%).[2] From 1999 to 2004 Dortmund-Märkische Eisenbahn (DME), a subsidiary of Dortmunder Stadtwerke (74%) and Märkische Verkehrsgesellschaft (26%), operated the Dortmund-Hagen-Lüdenscheid regional rail service. The energy sector includes the energy supplier DEW21 (Dortmunder Energie- und Wasserversorgung) with over 1100 employees.[11] The data networks business unit is mainly operated through the telecommunications company DOKOM21.[12]
