The company MN Mörbitz Nordhorn Ingenieure GmbH in Leipzig plans innovative and comprehensive building technology (heating - air conditioning - ventilation - sanitary - electrical) with clients, architects, project managers and construction companies and also implements these plans. Since 29.06.2022, this has been happening under the umbrella of the RWTÜV Group, which took over Mörbitz Nordhorn Ingenieure as part of an early succession arrangement.

In the 150th anniversary year of the RWTÜV, we also like to look at other anniversaries: on 6 July 1908, the US engineer and polar explorer Robert Peary set off on his North Pole expedition.Let's let that be a model for us - let's just dare to do something new every now and then. An expedition into unknown realms. Professionally or privately.

Where do you set off for?

The colleagues of the RWTÜV subsidiary CETECOM in Silicon Valley celebrate as they fall! For the arrival of the RWTÜV anniversary suitcase, they organised a "German Party" and unpacked our presents together. Apart from very nice photos of the event, there were now souvenirs from the USA for our gift table: Among them was a large map of Silicon Valley with the locations of all the famous CETECOM neighbours, a collection of cool caps, a woodcut of Sacramento, the capital of California, and much more. Especially the model of the Golden Gate Bridge looks good in our anniversary corner.

On 30 June 1992, the D2 network was launched, followed one day later by D1. With the underlying technology, the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), a rapid development of modern mobile cellular began in Germany. The highly regulated market at that time offered opportunities for RWTÜV: carrying out technologically demanding tests to ensure a defined quality of the individual components and thus of the entire system was virtually a projection of pressure testing from the steam boiler era into the IT age! This range of services became the cradle of CETECOM

With an atmospheric celebration, RWTÜV marked the climax of its anniversary festivities spread throughout the year on Thursday, June 9, 2022. Around 60 invited guests, including Essen's Lord Mayor Thomas Kufen as well as the Board of Directors, Supervisory Board, other representatives of the Group's bodies and the managing directors of the subsidiaries, were able to follow the varied history of the long-established company, which started out as the "Dampfkesselüberwachungsverein" (Steam Boiler Monitoring Association) in 1872, in film, spoken and visual presentations.

The search for an appropriate legal form, for the best possible positioning, and also for a suitable name were the defining questions for RWTÜV at the turn of the millennium. The development of the Group was – and is – far from complete.

150 years after the foundation of a small self-help project in Siegen called “Dampfkesselüberwachungsverein Lenne, Sieg und Dill e.V.”, the RWTÜV Group is now a globally operating business, represented on almost all continents, with around 2,000 employees. 

Yesterday we celebrated another highlight of the anniversary year with an atmospheric celebration.

The review of 150 years of tradition combined with a highly motivated outlook into the future of RWTÜV merged into an upbeat evening with an art exhibition and live music.

The administrative board, supervisory board and the managing directors of our subsidiaries were impressed by the works of the selected artists Mehmet Karaca, Juri Kim and Hang Dong, all three students of the Essen University of Fine Arts.
