CompanyBaumert & Dabergotz GmbH
1926
How it all began: In January 1926, Paul Baumert founded the company Paul Baumert Auto-Kühler und Karosseriebau on Jungfernplan in Hannover. In the fall of the same year, work began on the construction of the company's first workshop building and a residential building at Peiner Straße 15 in Hannover-Döhren.

1937
Oswald Dabergotz joined his stepfather's company as a journeyman. From then on, the company was called Paul Baumert & Son. In March of the following year, Oswald Dabergotz passed his master craftsman's examination as a plumber and fitter at the Hannover Chamber of Crafts. Oswald Dabergotz now joined the company as a partner, which from then on was called “Baumert u. Dabergotz Auto-Kühler u. Karosseriebau, Klempnerei u. Installation”. In the same year, Oswald Dabergotz married his wife Maria, who worked in the company until her death in 1993.
Oswald Dabergotz spent the war years at home, he was considered indispensable. The company was regarded as a supplier to the municipal haulage companies, the post office, the fire department and the police.
During the war years, daughters Bärbel, Rosemarie and Katharina were born, and the long-awaited progenitor Oswald Junior was born in 1949.
1937
1951
In 1951, the company property at Wilmerstrasse 5 was acquired.
After the successful construction of the residential building and the production hall, the company moved to much larger premises. New machines for pipe cooler production were purchased. The first small series for Hanomag and Krupp vehicles got off to a good start and were even delivered as far away as Africa. In 1966, the second construction phase of the production hall was opened and machines for the construction of tanks were purchased. The first series production of fuel tanks for John Deere Lanz took place.
1951
1967
In 1967, Paul Baumert passed away and Oswald Dabergotz Senior took over the sole management of the company. The children Bärbel, Rosemarie and Oswald Junior were now firmly associated with the company, their work commitment more important than ever before in preparation for a later takeover.
Radiator construction and container production ran in parallel. Reflectors for Hellux street lamps were also produced in Wilmerstrasse.
1967
1982
In 1982 Oswald Dabergotz Senior passed away and his children Bärbel and Oswald took over the management of the company, which now became Baumert u. Dabergotz GmbH. The main turnover now comes from container construction; companies such as Deutsche Grove, Demag and Liebherr from Austria were and are among the customers. And of course many end users. Cooler construction became more and more of a service.

2016
90 years of Baumert und Dabergotz , repairs to tanks and radiators on the increase. Bärbel and Oswald Dabergotz look back on 60 years in the company. It is time to look for a suitable successor and retire.

In May 2017, Lars Buschkowski, master metalworker and welding specialist, took over Baumert und Dabergotz and was appointed as the new managing director. Bärbel and Oswald Dabergotz are going into well-deserved retirement, but will always be on hand with help and advice.

Aluminum sand casting welding for electric motor housings presented us with a new challenge. This task could be realized in cooperation with the company Fronius and the TU Braunschweig. A process test was necessary, which was also solved with the help of DNVGL.
2019
2020
A tank was designed, our first own product under the new management, it was brought to series maturity from development to construction, including all approvals from the Federal Motor Transport Authority, it came onto the market and went into series production.

2021
Radiators also have to be repaired during the coronavirus period, tanks are being built, etc. We have a new task ahead of us...but more about that later.
2021
2022
As promised, an update for 2022. The long-awaited welding robot from Fronius has finally been ordered. Although the delivery time is extremely long, delivery is scheduled for spring next year. The long wait is worth it for the improvement in product quality and work processes. Once the installation is complete, employee training will begin. Thanks to its user-friendliness, our trained employees should be able to operate it quickly, as we were able to see for ourselves during a demonstration by Fronius in Goslar.
In late summer, we, Baumert & Dabergotz GmbH, took part in an award ceremony in Cologne. The “Employer of the Future” and “Top Service” awards were presented and we were there.
This award naturally makes us very proud and we can see that our work is also well received by our customers. Thank you once again for the feedback and the trust you have placed in us.

2023
In summer 2022, work began on the underpass or replacement bridge for the Südschnellweg. We also had to be prepared for constructional obstructions. But we had no idea what was really in store for us. On paper, everything didn't look so bad. In spring/summer 2023, things really got going and we had to give up 700 square meters of our property for years. Holes were drilled, fences were put up and we had to somehow guide our customers and suppliers across the construction site to the property. The access to the rest of the site changed almost daily. We had to come to terms with this for the next few years.
In August 2023, after several postponements, the welding robot arrived. Training followed after the system was set up. Now it's time for the finishing touches, welding jigs still have to be created, then nothing stands in the way of commissioning.
In August, we were also able to take on a second apprentice boiler and tank builder in our team.
In September, we also received the WORLD'S BEST
EMPLOYER Germany 2023 , from USIQ UNITED STATS INSTITUTE FOR QUALITY LLC. We hadn't expected that at all.
