  3. Company history

In the 90 years after our company was founded by Anton Wiedemeyer a lot has happened. We are happy to give you a brief chronological overview of the development of our company.

  • from 1933

    How everything started

    The year 1933 was characterized by the takeover of the Nazis lead by Adolf Hitler in the German Empire and connected with that the end of the Weimarer Republic.

    In these difficult times of change, Anton Wiedemeyer started with only one horse carriage. He transported coals and potatoes and did weddings and funerals. To do so he used his special-purpose vehicles, horse drawn wedding and funeral carriages. This is how he managed to bring his family through the times of the war.

    The first truck

    A milestone in the development of our company was the purchase of the first truck in 1948. Six years later the last four horses went into retirement.

    50 years of Wiedemeyer

    In 1983, our family business already counted more than 25 employees, including 7 trainees. They conveyed - next to digging machines, cranes and construction pieces with overlength or overwidth - also whole escalators and prefabricated houses – of course deconstructed in pieces. Heavy duties up to 50 tons had been transported inland and in foreign countries. The 16 motor tractors with their semitrailers covered a distance of about 1 million kilometers (621.371 miles) a year.
