Overview of HGV holdings
HGV brings together more than 75 companies under one roof – from mobility to urban development. Our focus is on infrastructure, real estate, transportation, and logistics.
We keep Hamburg running.
HGV is the holding company for most of the public companies of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, as well as for other investments. Over 75 major companies are consolidated under our umbrella, with HGV holding a majority stake. Our focus is on the public transport, traffic and logistics, utilities, and real estate and urban development sectors. Most of the group companies operate exclusively or predominantly in the greater Hamburg area. However, some companies – such as HHLA – also have national and international operations. To safeguard jobs and strengthen Hamburg as a business location, the City of Hamburg has also repeatedly acquired stakes in private companies through HGV.
HGV: Holdings by sector
Our investments cover a broad spectrum of industries that play a key role in Hamburg's economic and social life.
Public transport
For millions of people, public transport ensures their daily participation in social life in Hamburg – whether it's getting to work, to education, or to leisure activities. Our stakes in Hamburger Hochbahn AG, Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein GmbH, and P+R Betriebsgesellschaft are driving public transport forward.
Transportation & Logistics
From the container terminals at the Port of Hamburg to the ships of Hapag-Lloyd or from Hamburg Airport high into the skies – our investments in the transport & logistics sector strengthen Hamburg's position as a leading trading hub.
Supply & disposal
Supply and disposal are the invisible yet vital foundation for health and quality of life in our city. Our subsidiaries reliably supply Hamburg households with water, electricity, district heating, and gas, as well as high-speed fiber optic internet. We also ensure that traffic systems such as traffic lights and streetlights function flawlessly.
Real estate & urban development
Real estate is the building block for socially responsible and future-oriented urban development. Through investments in social housing and neighborhood development, the HGV Group creates livable housing for Hamburg's citizens, modern educational facilities for all generations, and attractive office space for businesses. In addition to various cultural buildings, we also manage police and fire department properties in Hamburg.
This was six percent more than in the previous year.
