History

1877 to 1933

65 merchants founded Bremer Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft -Aktiengesellschaft von 1877- (BLG) in February 1877. A key factor in the company's creation was the desire of Bremen cotton traders to obtain an improved warehousing and trading infrastructure, including the option of issuing warehouse receipts and warrants. [4] [5] The business was restricted to handling and storage; it did not include the transport of goods. The company's own initial five warehouses went into operation in 1878 on the left bank of the Weser in the Sicherheitshafen [6] – referred to since approx. 1900 by locals as Hohentorshafen. [7] [8] BLG itself provided for the early connection to the railway line. [9] In the first decade of operation, the company stored mainly grain and legumes, lard, bacon and pork, tobacco, cotton, sheep's wool and coffee. [10]

In 1888, BLG expanded its operations to the Europahafen (Free Port I) on the right bank of the Weser, which following Bremen's accession to the Customs Union (October 1888) was conceived as a free port; [11] the relevant operating agreement between Bremen and BLG dates back to May 1888. [12] BLG played a seminal role in the development of port facilities on the right bank of the Weser up until World War I. [13] With its completion in 1906, the company also became active in the Free Port II, the operating agreement was amended for this purpose. [14] Moreover, from 1897, the company ran the Getreideverkehrsanlage (grain transport system) [15] [16] and in 1929, it took over the Weser Railway Station. [17] As a reaction to the ramifications of the Great Depression, BLG introduced the so-called "Krümpersystem" in the beginning of April 1932, intended to prevent unemployment through staggered furloughing of workers. The system remained in force until the end of April 1935. [18] [19]

1933 to 1945

During the course of the seizure of power by National Socialists in Bremen, the long-standing Chairman of the management board Kurt Dronke, a member of the German State Party group in the State Parliament of Bremen, [20] was forced out of office in April 1933. His successor was an NSDAP member. [21] [22] A similar fate befell Carl Krüger, who had been a member of the management board since 1931: Under political pressure, he requested a six-month leave of absence in September 1933, and on May 31, 1934, he retired. [23] Based on National Socialist legislation, also in Bremen all temporary workers of the port were hired in an overall port operating company (in Bremen since June 25, 1934: Hafenbetriebsverein in Bremen e.V., a port operating association). This association assigned workers to the port operators, also to BLG. [24] [25] After the beginning of World War II, these laborers also included foreign workers, prisoners of war, slave laborers from Central and Eastern Europe, and occasionally also prisoners and concentration camp inmates. [26] [27]

In early January 1941, a fire set off by incendiary bombs ravaged the administrative offices of BLG. [28] Explosive and incendiary bombs destroyed a large part of the port and its facilities by the end of the war (warehouses, silos, enclosures, cranes, hydraulic equipment, rails, lines, grain facilities, Weser Railway Station etc.). [29] [30]

1945 to 1998

The authorities in the American Zone of Occupation dismissed ten executive employees of BLG on September 17, 1945. [31] The company obtained a renewal of its operating permit on November 29, 1945. [32] As repairs to the port progressed, the activities of BLG were revitalized. Initially, the business was focused mainly on the Überseehafen, then repairs began on the Europahafen. In 1951, the Weser Railway Station resumed operations. In the first half of the 1950s, operations also began in the cold storage warehouse at the Holz- und Fabrikenhafen. [33]

From mid-1953, BLG was also directing operations in the Ports of Bremerhaven. This involved the Kaiserhafen, Columbuskaje, the Neuer Hafen and the Verbindungshafen. The Nordhafen was added later. [34] [35] In 1959, the municipality of Bremen and BLG concluded an operating agreement, which provided that the city maintain the majority of shares. [36] In 1961, the company moved into the newly built port high-rise structure at the head of the Überseehafen. [37] Two years later, the City of Bremen and BLG signed a contractual agreement that allowed the company to assume third-party loans in the capital market for additional projects. This is how it financed the significant expenditures for the building and operation of the Neustädter Hafen (operating from 1965/1966) as well as for the building and operation of the container terminals in Bremerhaven (construction from 1968; operation from 1971). [38] Already in 1966, the first container vessel appeared in Europe, the Fairland, and called on the Überseehafen. [39] [40] Since 1967, there was a temporary facility for RoRo vessels in this port; at the end of 1973, there was one available on a permanent basis in the Europahafen.

From 1970 on, Bremerhaven was regularly frequented by LASH mother ships. From February 1974, a floating barge [41] moorage was located at the head of the Überseehafen. [42] In 1979, BLG took over the Cape Horn handling facility from Anker Schiffahrtsgesellschaft with access to the Weser as well as to the Industriehafen. In the same year, the RoRo facility in the Neustädter Hafen was ready for operation. [43]

BLG participated in the booming container business in the 1980s, which completely reshaped the port economy and in Bremerhaven, in particular, led to the expansion of the terminals in several phases. [44]

The stiff competition put downward pressure on the margins at BLG. The recession of the world economy at the beginning of the 1980s led to layoffs of BLG employees in the industrial and commercial sector. Through business contacts to Volkswagen and later to Daimler-Benz, the company began with logistics services for the automobile industry and in doing so, improved its value added, initially per dispersion of supplier material to German factories, then per Semi Knocked Down and Completely Knocked Down. [45] BLG also took over logistical services with improved value added since 1980 for Minolta. [46] [47] [48]

The fall of the socialist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe at the end of the 1980s/beginning of the 1990s meant significant cargo losses for BLG in the conventional business. The company experienced a crisis. [48]

Since 1998

At the beginning of the 1990s, the objective was to develop from a local port company into an international logistics group, according to Detthold Aden, who as Chairman of the Management Board promoted this change from 1999 to 2013. [49] [50] [51] Already in 1998, the organizational structure was revamped: The BLG Group was created with Bremer Lagerhaus-Gesellschaft -Aktiengesellschaft von 1877- as the general partner and the new BLG Logistics Group AG & Co. KG as the limited partner. As a holding company, the KG focused on the strategic orientation and growth of the Group. Since that time, several branch subsidiaries and affiliates have operated under the Group umbrella in corporate independence. They fall under the three operative divisions: automobile, contract and container. [48]

In 1999, the container business was merged with Hamburg's Eurokai into Eurogate. [52] [53] Today, this joint venture operates container terminals on the North Sea, on the Atlantic, in the Mediterranean Sea and on the Baltic Sea. Moreover, Eurogate has holdings in several inland terminals and railway cargo companies. [54] [55]

In 2002, BLG Logistics took over the contract logistics of Paul Günther Logistik AG (Hamburg) and thus gained logistics locations in eastern Germany. Furthermore, it acquired 50 percent of the shares in the vehicle forwarding company E.H. Harms Automobile Logistics operating in Bremen and Bremerhaven. [56] [57] [35] In 2009, the company increased its share to 94 percent. [58] [59] [60] In the year 2002, the headquarters of BLG Logistics moved into a building next to the former American Consular Agency, [61] [62] and since 2006, also into this historic building.

In 2003, the high-bay warehouse went into operation at Bremen's Güterverkehrszentrum (cargo transport center). [63] [64] [65]

In 2008 the company acquired half the shares in CTL Car Transport Logistics GmbH. This company changed its name and became BLG AutoRail GmbH. [66] Up to 2017, it expanded its rail vehicle carriers to some 1500 units. [67]

The contract division began in 2015 with the establishment of the Fashion logistics division. [68] [69] [70] In 2016, the company acquired Fortagroup, followed in 2017 by the purchase of Kitzinger & Co. and its subsidiary Arno Rosenlöcher. [71] In 2021, the company sold its forwarding activities in the sea and air freight business, which were organized in BLG International Forwarding, to Rhenus. Air & See; the BLG forwarding location in Bremen war not part of that deal. [72] 2022, a joint venture with Hyundai Glovis was launched in Bremerhaven. [73]

In his home city Schütte is also remembered as a massively effective Bremen benefactor, both through his own donations and through his effectiveness as a fund raiser among fellow members of the city's business elite, during what was a period of unprecedented commercial expansion. The city owes its "new" city hall and its Botanical Gardens to his philanthropy, along with the rebuilding between 1888 and 1901 of the west end of Bremen Cathedral in the confident "Gothic revival" style favoured for prestigious public buildings in central and western Europe during this period.
