History is more than past events, history is created layer by layer – history is the foundation
on which we stand and build. Hans von Keler
The Heitkamp Ingenieur- und Kraftwerksbau GmbH is a 100% subsidiary of the Heitkamp BauHolding GmbH group of companies.
The construction company can look back to a tradition of more than 116 years. The company was founded 1892 as the Tiefbaufirma
E. Heitkamp. In 1902, the son of Heinrich Heitkamp took over the „Tiefbaufirma E. Heitkamp“. In 1946 „E. Heitkamp Tiefbaugeschäft
in Wanne-Eickel“ changed its corporate name to „Bauunternehmung E. Heitkamp GmbH“. Heinrich Heitkamp senior and his sons
Heinrich and Robert became partners. In the period of 1950 – 1960 the company became involved in special mining engineering,
power plant and tunnel construction. In 1964 Robert Heitkamp took over the corporate management and expanded the family
business to become one of the ten biggest construction companies in Germany. In 1981 Robert Heitkamp retired from the business.
Under the chairmanship of his son, Prof. Dr. Dr. Engelbert Heitkamp, the management was reorganized.
In 1995, Heitkamp was awarded its biggest single contract for all the structural work including two natural draught cooling towers
at the new construction site of the Lippendorf power plant .
In 1998 it was awarded the contract to build the highest natural draught cooling tower in the world in Niederaußem (height of 200
m). In 1999 the construction company „E. Heitkamp GmbH“ in Herne merged with the „Deilmann-Haniel GmbH“ in Dortmund to
become „Heitkamp-Deilmann-Haniel GmbH“ based in Herne. During the course of 2005 the civil engineering competencies were
fused to become the Heitkamp Ingenieur- und Kraftwerksbau GmbH
In 2008 „Heitkamp-Deilmann-Haniel GmbH“ changed its name to „Heitkamp BauHolding GmbH“ after the domestic mining activities
had been dropped.
