The town of Darmstadt has concluded the restructuring of its municipal economy which was started
three years ago with the merger of the two municipal utilities companies for power, gas and water
and with the addition of a new strategic partner. The town of Darmstadt has integrated bauverein AG
with HEAG AG which has resulted in the essential economic activities of the town being brought
together under the umbrella of HEAG.
During this process the HEAG structures have been adjusted. The old seven divisions, energy,
transport, telecommunications, waster management, plant construction, IT and real property have
been restructured within HEAG and each one now forms an independent company: HEAG Südhessische
Energie AG (energy), HEAG mobilo GmbH (local public transport), EAG Entsorgungs-AG (waste
management), bauverein AG (real estate) and HEAG MediaNet GmbH (telecommunications). The real
property subsidiary of HEAG, HEAG Wohnbau, is assigned to bauverein while the shares in Entega
Service (IT) and Nohl Darmstadt (plant construction) are assumed by HEAG Südhessische Energie AG
(HSE).
Under the leadership of partner Dr Jochen Lamb – as during the first step three years ago – a
Stuttgart team from CMS Hasche Sigle advised the town of Darmstadt on the corporate and tax law
structure of the transaction and on the execution of the restructuring. Dr Jochen Lamb was assisted
by Dr Antje Becker (corporate law) and Dr Kurt Gratz and Roland Wutzke (both tax).
